hello..... i've been learning some stuff. not enuff apparently. i even extracted all the ideneb files and tried to find the f8 option to insert a pause. no success.

 

kalyway.. does not stop at f8 option screen, hangs on "waiting for root device"

ideneb… same

nawcom modcd boots. offers some options. unsure about entering option commands before changing to snow leopard install disk. have tried all combinations, i think. none goes far.

 

i know i'm working with a difficult machine on which to run osx86. i don't need it. it is a big time suck too. i have a macbook pro.

 

just love a hacking challenge.

 

hope this info helps someone.

 

tips and suggestions most welcome.

 

thanks
