[Help] I don't know how to select a volume in F8 menu

[ill_omen]

hi, I've been trying to install Leopard for days now and I can't get it in and booting

 

I was wondering a quick question:

Why can't I select my Leopard install after hitting F8 in the boot CD options? The leopard install simply isn't in the list

 

all I can boot from when I hit F8 is the Leopard Install CD.. hd(32,1) Leopard AMD Install or what ever it's name is

 

Although, when I just let the boot CD count down (without pressing F8), it finds the bootable volume and attempts to boot it

 

 

Some attributes of my system:

 

40GB ATA Hard drive

One 40GB partition labled "leopard"

MBR as the boot loader

 

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+

Gigabyte Motherboard - M61P-S3

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

booting from the DVD will start the setup process! you were doing it right!

Once you have pressed F8 and gotten to the: "Leopard Install CD.. hd(32,1) Leopard AMD Install" just type "-v" so that you can see what it is doing,

THEN it will boot from the dvd and take you to the first setup screen where you will have to prepare you HDD in the Utilities directory

thanks for the reply

 

Hmm.. I can get into the Installer fine, but once I finish installing, shouldn't there be an extra entry in the F8 menu for my newly installed leopard?

 

For some reason it's not there, even though the CD can boot my leopard partition (resulting in a kernel panic), I can't seem to go into the F8 menu and manually boot the Installed Leopard Operating System
