This will only work on a vanilla capable PC, so no AMD.

The iso contains an initrd.img mount it and copy contents.

Great a new .img file and then injected it into the iso with winiso (in windows)




Alternatively you can use a method like explained in  this thread for leopard.

[sbeehre]

why dont you just include fakesmc in the initrd.img and put it on rapid share rather than getting everyone to add it themselves... ive always had trouble when adding kexts as i get an image checksum error or something like that when i try to boot the cd.

[Wyzco]

If it can be done like wat sbeehre said i wud greatly appreciate that cause i have bin trying to get my copy of SL Bootable and am down to my last DL Dvd for today. even messed up Win 7 and Win Xp Installation trying to get on SL. lol

Sorry lost the completed work have to start from scratch. Tell me if you know any tool to create .img be it Windows OS X or linux!





Asked someone else to pack .img last time though it was my idea.

Patched!

Should Work!

[iSynapse]

Isn't Snow Leopard supposed to boot only using chameleon RC1 and PC_EFI 10.1 ??? You say that using a normal boot-132 and fakesmc.kext it should boot like good old Leopard?

Just few minutes

[noob766]

wrote a guide on how to do it for snow leopard, unfortunately it uses a dirty fix to use a boot file that supports 10.6

[tessa17]

can't wait to try it out

[tronica]

Am unable to boot the  Boot123 made by nonne9. Burned it using disk utility. When i try to boot from it, the computer just skips over it.

because you have to start from scratch every time you make a boot-132 disc for some strange reason. otherwise it gets skipped over.
