Mac OS is a mystery to me, but I believe it is UNIX based. dd looks like a decent command to use. > Then I did the install, but now I have this at startup And it installed. So that part is ok.

Look at the contents of each partition with 'ls (hd0.gpt1)/', 'ls (hd0.gpt2)/' etc to find them. Then at the prompt (if the partition is (hd0.gpt1): set root=(hd0.gpt1) linux vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 initrd initrd.img boot /dev/sda1 becomes /dev/sda2 if the partition is (hd0.gpt2). If that works it should be easy for us to go from there. -- Brian.
