Can't boot into Mac OS X 10.3

Post by vlad557776 »

Hi.

I hope that will be my last question for some time. Anyways, here's the problem: I can't boot into my freshly installed OS X 10.3. I tried booting from hard disk using QEMU.BAT, setting the boot priority from Installer, nope.

Can someone help me?

What's your boot command line? You'll likely need to remove the installer completely and not just change from d to c.

Hmm... and I presume this dumps you to the OpenBIOS prompt?

Your command line looks good to me.

Where does the boot process halt? It might take some time before the gray apple disappears.

Best,

Well, it just gives me "no bootable device".

Don't know why it's not booting. Checked the disk with OS X 10.2, there's all folders, "mach" file (probably kernel). Can't actually run the apps, but it's normal.
