My friend's just tried installing Darwin but it won't boot.

He created the partitions in Windows (which he left installed), one 8MB and one 5000MB for Darwin and the bootloader, the rest for Windows.

Then, he rebooted off a CD of Darwin. He selected the relevant partitions and installed it. It seemed to install OK. Then, after installation, it rebooted.

Now the computer just boots into Windows - it won't boot into Darwin at all. How can he make it do so?

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

Did he install a boot manager?
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
