The firmware isn't seeing anything on the SSD it can boot from. You need
to see what's on that SSD. The solution may be as simple as running the
'bless' command, or it may be more complicated. You won't know until you
take a look at that SSD. Boot from the OS X install disc, please, and verify
the filesystem.

Thanks for your help!

The thing is that MP refused to boot even when i removed windows 7 hard disk
and put Back up disk (Non SSD) in same place.

And solution was to connect keyboard in MP directly not in display. That way
boot commands worked.

I don't remember when i was scared like that last time.
