Okay so I'm at this step:

Copy the xom.efi bootloader to the hard disk and bless it.
Copy the xom.efi file into your home directory.
In the terminal type:
sudo cp xom.efi /System/Library/CoreServices <-- you will have to enter your password here
cd /System/Library/CoreServices
sudo bless --folder . --file xom.efi --setBoot


In the terminal, I typed the first line of code, it asked me for my password, then it said "sudo: xom.efi: command not found".

I looked in the /System/Library/CoreServices folder and didn't see that file there.

Now my question is, how do you do this step: "Copy the xom.efi file into your home directory. " ??? Where are you getting this file and what is the home directory? Sorry I'm a complete MacNoob.

Thanks.

Copy xom.efi from the download package and then copy it into your home folder (drag it to your icon on the sidebar of finder with a little House as the icon). Then open terminal and enter the commands.

Thanks I will try that now...

It might help if that step was in the guide ;)

Why not suggest cd'ing into the directory of the extracted files?

Frost, this isn't a case of you being a "Mac noob." It's just that you must not have that much experience with a Unix variant system (Linux, BSD, etc).

That's ok though :)

Actually I don't...I've been a Windows man all my life until now.

Anyway, I got it all working :) .
