When booting Mac OS X using this command: "boot cd:,\\:tbxi", it causes Bootx to go back and try to find the partition that it can open. This search fails. A way around this is to just specify the partition to open: "boot cd:9,\\:tbxi". William made two patches that handles this situation:

Is that because of the large number of partitions on the OS X CD? It 
works for me on the Darwin CD so I guess it's laid out differently :/

That sounds good :)  Does it get as far as Amadeusz's screenshots here

there a regression somewhere?
