Note that there's a workaround in the comments of this blog post, too, but involves using the Terminal.

Anyway, if you do have another Mac, you'll boot that Mac normally. Then, put the Intel mac into FireWire Target Disk Mode, connect it to the other Mac, mount the image and use SD! to restore. Should work just fine...

Well I just realized I only have one FW cable.

Do you know where I can find the exact command for 'man asr'?

If it matters the destination is /Volumes/Untitled, and source /Volumes/MacBook

Thanks for all your help.
