We mentioned last week that a resourceful Mac hacker, in an attempt to boot Windows Vista on his iMac Core Duo, worked his way into the machine's EFI menu system. Well, as can be seen in latter comment posts on the user's webpage, some users attempting to hack the EFI are ending up with iMacs that won't boot - at all.
Oops.

Important system recovery instructions: Thanks to a commentor and Dave Schroeder's testing, I am able to give you this information for restoring your iMac should it refuse to power on. Unplug your iMac and wait 10 seconds. Hold down the power button as you plug it back in. You should now be able to boot from the restore DVD.

Check out the screen-grabs of the EFI interface. In the upper left-hand corner are a couple Mickey Mouse/Sorcerer's Apprentice dolls. Then look at the date on his posts. This guy knows something we don't know.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.
