Hello friends, here is my guide that took me 20mins to install SL on an external USB2 drive.
You must have another version of OS X 86 to do some patching, this is a minus as the most of the guides, but it's fast. I have to remind you that this is up to you, I don't take any responsibility if you damage your data or your hardware. To build a "Hackintosh" needs practice and A LOT of time to waste for research and files, so sit back, print this page and use it as a quide that you agree to use "As is" there are no warranties  1. Follow this guide and make the cdboot (thanks flashGX) 2. Burn the CD, but you won't use it yet 3. If you have the .dmg image of Snow Leopard, mount it. 4. Open Terminal and write: This command, shows all files in finder, we want that cause we will install Snow Leopard from the .dmg image (faster than DVD and cheaper )5. Now while you have mounted the image with the Mac OS X Installation DVD, go to /System/Installation/Packages and run OSInstall.mpkg when you're done, put this on Terminal: it will hide again your system files. 6. Install OS X as you would normally. 7. After installation, go here and grab Chameleon 2 RC3 Installer (thanks Dr. Hurt ) also go to the following link and grab some files that we'll use soon. (h t t p://chameleon.osx86.hu/articles/chameleon-20-rc3-with-snow-leopard-and-large-disk-support) 8. Reboot and insert the cdboot you created above in step 2. 9. Choose on the BIOS to boot from DVD, boot, when you're on Chameleon screen, select the disk where you Installed Snow Leopard, and write: -v arch=i386 -x32 and press Enter. 10. Takes awhile to load the Snow Leopard Account Creation screen, while you're there, complete the steps and continue. 11. When you'll reach the Desktop, install Chameleon 2 RC3 and then go to the folder "Extra" on the partition where Snow Leopard is installed. Put inside the files you grabbed on step 7 and put the right text on com.apple.boot.plist, mine is this for example: CODE <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386 -x32</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1920x1200x32</string> <key>device-properties</key <string>b10300000100000001000000a50300001300000002010c00d041030a00000000010106000001 0101060000007fff04002a0000004100540059005f0045004600490045006e00610062006c006500 6 4004d006f00640065000000050000003222000000400030002c006400650076006900630065005f0 0 740079007000650000000b000000646973706c6179260000004100540059002c005600520041004d 0 02c004d0065006d00530069007a0065000000070000003531322a0000004100540059002c0045004 6 004900560065007200730069006f006e00420069006f0073000000130000003131332d4232323530 3 12d583232420e0000006e0061006d00650000001a00000041544920526164656f6e2048442032363 0 3020454649160000004100540059002c0052006f006d0023000000120000003131332d4232323530 4 62d32303714000000400030002c006e0061006d0065000000110000004154592c446973706c61792 d 41100000006d006f00640065006c000000140000004154492c526164656f6e484432363030220000 0 05600520041004d002c0074006f00740061006c00730069007a00650000000d00000032363834333 5 3435361c0000004100540059002c006d0065006d00730069007a00650000000d0000003236383433 3 5343536360000004100410050004c002c006100750078002d0070006f007700650072002d0063006 f 006e006e00650063007400650064000000050000003136000000400031002c006400690073007000 6 c00610079002d0063006f006e006e006500630074002d0066006c006100670073000000080000003 1 30323414000000400031002c006e0061006d0065000000110000004154592c446973706c61792d42 2 20000004100540059002c00450046004900560065007200730069006f006e0000000d00000030312 e 30302e32303720000000400031002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c00650000001000 0 0004154592c4672616e6b6c696e20000000400030002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006 c 0065000000100000004154592c4672616e6b6c696e36000000400030002c0064006900730070006c 0 0610079002d0063006f006e006e006500630074002d0066006c00610067007300000008000000313 0 323422000000400031002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079007000650000000b000000 6 46973706c61791c0000006400650076006900630065005f007400790070006500000016000000415 4 592c4672616e6b6c696e506172656e74</string> <key>Instant Menu</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Legacy Logo</key> <string>No</string> </dict> </plist> Also inside the "Extra" folder, put the file smbios.plist 12. After you're done, reboot without the CD, choose from BIOS to boot from your drive (in my case USB 2 external) and hopefully you'll boot to OS X without any problem. My configuration is: Motherboard, MSI P965 Neo-F V2 CPU, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz Memory, 4GB Corsair 800Mhz DDR Dual Channel. (4x1GB) Storage. 2x500GB WD SATA HDDs Graphics Card, ATI HD 2600 Pro 512MB PCIe I am able to connect online with my WiFi card (Atheros) The screen resolution is stuck at 1600x1200 and it's annoying on my 24" monitor where it's default resolution is 1920x1200... No sound on my ALC888 on board card I hope some of you to find this guide handy Total time spent, 20mins Good luck to all, don't forget to READ before you ask and SEARCH on the links I've provided above on each step. Thanks to all the community for their contribution  I hope Netkas, soon to provide driver for my ATI HD2600 Pro and also to find the right .kexts for the sound. |
