Have you considered that perhaps installation on a Mac isn't supported?
The only tutorials on the Howto page are installs into Parallels and VMWare.

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
so streaker69, how did you do it? any special tricks?

I highly doubt Streaker has a mac.
You know I do. Remember the two iMacs I bought at auction? They're still sitting in my basement not turned on.I highly doubt Streaker has a mac.

Crap! I actually did forget about them. They do make good ammo for trebuchets.You know I do. Remember the two iMacs I bought at auction? They're still sitting in my basement not turned on.

Hey Carlos,
Lets see here, first make sure you EFI table and MBR are in sync.
On the rEFIt boot there is an option for shell, it will automatically check your sync when it executes. Tell it to sync them up. reboot, start from your cd, mount the partition, chroot to it, check to make sure your lilo is using /dev/sda3, then rewrite it.
Try that and let me know how it goes.mkdir /mnt/bt2
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/bt2
chroot /mnt/bt2 /bin/bash
nano /etc/lilo.conf
lilo
logout
umount /dev/sda3
roboot
