Trying to run OSX on a PC? A quick google reveals the top hits relating to booting OSX. Here’s a couple of possibly pertinent pieces of info:

> A b0 error means that when you created the partition, you forgot to set it “active”.

> You’ll receive this error if you have partitioned your disk using the 10.4.4 Disk Utility,  
> using a Windows 98 Bootdisk run  
> fdisk /mbr  
> then run fdisk & make the partition you installed OS X on active & reboot, OS X should boot now without any probs 🙂

I have no idea if that will help at all. Just regurgitating what I found.
