So I built a new PC back in July, and opted for ML-compatible parts so I could eventually Hackintosh it. Fast forward to now, and I've opted to finally try to get this thing triple-booting with Windows and Slackware. I installed Mavericks, formatted the remaining partitions, installed Windows and Linux, and rebooted into OS X with the USB stick.
After that, I reinstalled the boot loader and reset the active partition to my OSX hard drive (separate driver for Mac and Win/Lin). Rebooted, and nothing. Can't find a bootable drive (my boot order is Mac drive -> CD-ROM). Odd.
So I get back in via USB, and move the active partition from the EFI to the actual install (couldn't remember which is supposed to be active). That makes it reappear in my BIOS boot order, but it still says it can't find a bootable drive. Huh.
Weirdest part: If I manually select the drive from my BIOS to boot, it goes to the boot loader and works perfectly. But if I let the machine boot on it's own, it fails to see the drive as bootable.
Specs: OS X Mavericks from App Store (used UniBeast method) i5 3570K GTX 770 GA-Z77X-UD5H Samsung 840 with OS X Samsung 830 with Windows and Slackware
Is there something I'm missing here?
