(This helps prevent the com.apple.boot.plist error - thanks redash!) - Increase vram in to max which is 128Mb (Optional, but really improves performance) - Set Boot Order to boot from HD first Before power on...connect USB mouse - leave keyboard disconnected for now (The following process has to be done as quick as possible or you will get an error such as "com.apple.Boot.plist not found") - Boot laptop and hit ESC at the ESC/F10 prompt - Select boot from CD then hit ENTER - Hit F8 - Type -v then hit ENTER Have a USB keyboard ready and insert it approximately 5 seconds after the previous step. (This goofy process is probably only particular to this model HP. It may be much more straightforward for other models/chipsets. YMMV) - Repeat process if you get stuck at "waiting for root device". This is where many people have trouble. Much of this has to do with the system having trouble with ps/2. The kexts on the DVD are not perfect yet for this chipset. You may have to play around with the USB mouse/keyboard combination (what and when to plug them in) to bypass this troublespot and force the system to load the USB ones. I know I tried a LOT of things to get past this stupid message. - Afterwards, the system may appear to hang (or stop responding), but BE PATIENT. It just goes through the install slow in some places. I had to wait over 7 minutes on some installs.

verdant Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 EDIT: I dont have a usb keyboard but i have a usb mouse. how will that work? I guess it may have something to do with BIOS timings........you need to read the DV6000 AMD thread......
