I can't seem to boot a MBR drive that has windows 7 64bit on it for some reason. I can boot the drive if i hold down the option key but i'm trying to only use my 6870 which doesn't give me the boot screen.

I've tried blessing the volume via bless --volume /Volume/Bootcamp or /dev/disk1 with --legacy options but that just brings me up to a black screen with a blinking cursor. I have not tried using file or folder because i do not know which file to select.

I've also tried booting the volume via BootChamp but i get the same results. I also can not see the drive in OSX boot disk selector.

I tried using the chameleon hack but i can't seem to get that working either. I can boot a windows 7 if i install it on a GUID partition but that won't give me the AHCI drivers that give me the much needed speed boost.

Can anyone help?
