I had previously had my mbp setup with 10.8.4 os x and bt5r3 with rEFIT as the boot loader.

I am able to go all the way through the process installing kali on macbook pro 8,3 ... kali dvd ejects from the drive, the mbp restarts. I click the linux icon and says to insert bootable with a flashing hdd icon in the screen. So I wiped the entire HDD clean, erasing mac os x and all and went to install on the entire hard drive... I get all the way through the install process of kali amd64 on the dvd... dvd ejects, starts reboot and only have a flashing hard drive icon in center of the screen.

I am burning i386 kali now to see if that makes a difference. Can anyone help me? Is my issue the boot loader? grub installs during the process! Am I using the wrong architecture? BackTrack 5 r3 worked great on this computer along side of os x.

Thanks for any and all help!
