You could try iBoot Legacy 2.7.2
but first try booting with npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000

It didn't work. I booted it the normal way with the Apple logo displayed and the loading symbol, but 2 minutes later, above the Apple logo, it showed a stop/no entry sign, so I am gonna boot it into verbos mode "-v" without the quotes, so I can see what is wrong and will report back (it will probably say "Still waiting for root device".

0 times out of 10 this no entry sign is caused by wrong SATA mode set in BIOS. Boot to BIOS and make sure the SATA mode is set to AHCI.
