Hi.

I'm currently waiting for my pegasos system but :) I'm a little familiar
with linux partitioning.. Isn't there something like a BOOTABLE FLAG (linux)
or ACTIVE FLAG (windows) in the partition manager? I don't know about the
image file, but IMHO a partition needs to be set bootable... I had problems
like this, with linux..
Or perhaps a OSX needs a primary partition (don't know if theres something
like that  :) I'm a little dos based at the moment. But I think you'll find
the anwser in cfdisk, or disk druid :)

Good luck..
