Try playing with root(0,1) root(0,2) root(0,3) etc…
When I botched my partitioning the first time I had to guess.
I did however read a great explanation of grub indexes here : http://tinycorelinux.com/install.html
Hope this helps!

Hi,

I followed all your instructions, but grub hangs at the Starting Up… stage. Any ideas? I can boot Ubuntu fine, and can boot my iDeneb installation by using Startup Disk when I boot from the DVD, but would be so much better to be able to use grub…

Yeah I was also taken back a few years to fwcutter and ndiswrapper LOL.
Some prefer it – others do not. You really can’t argue resale value on most Apple devices.

I’ve used it for a few days here and there and mostly thought it sucked, has a horrible user interface, etc. But a number of people seem to have the exact opposite opinion, so I thought if I try it for a long time, maybe I’d change my mind. But why pay 3 times as much for the same hardware just to try it out?

“On most machines you will waste hours determining if your hardware is supported only to reinstall your stable native OS.”

Sounds like Linux.

I don’t think there is a (wo)man alive who doesn’t love this operating system – hit up the Apple store, click some buttons then bust out the plastic. Hackintoshes just don’t cut it. Believe me, it will be tough to “try” when none of the damn hardware is supported.

I don’t know if I love the OS. I want to try it first.

Not at all, in fact this was simply a test to see if I could get it going a long time ago. In my honest opinion none of the hacked Leopard images are very reliable and it is more a tease – buy a real mac if you love the OS. On most machines you will waste hours determining if your hardware is supported only to reinstall your stable native OS.

Recent images are getting better – but once again the buzzword is “HACKintosh” – it is still quite sketchy for most hardware.

Is this still up to date? It\’s a little hard to find which DVD I want to download. Is the \"second release candidate\" of ToH still the best thing to get?
