I have a brand new virgin hard drive (100GB Hitachi HTS722010K9SA00, 7200RPM $39.95 at Central Computer) to try this on. I already had the 2GB RAM upgrade thanks to Crucial.com.
I've tried cannontrane's instructions with iDeneb v1.5 (v1.3 was taking forever, so I stopped it-may have to get it to try wingzero619's steps), but when I swap in the iDeneb v1.5 DVD, I get stuck in a loop asking for /library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist.
I got cannontrane's ToshNB205Boot132.iso and started that and then added a retail OS X 10.5 DVD but got the same error looking for com.apple.Boot.plist.
Is this the loop that others have mentioned somewhere in these 36 pages of comments? I'll search and see. Other than that, any help with explicit instructions for using that Boot-132 ISO with a retail DVD would be helpful. I like knowing *exactly* what I'm supposed to do because I'm enough over my head I can't wing it. For example, the instructions at
New modified BOOT-132 allows you to boot retail DVDs - InsanelyMac Forum just say "Boot to ISO, then swap, then boot to retail, then swap back in ISO and After install, boot using CD boot again and install .kext needed...and usual files." I'm sorry, but I'm too confused and twisted around to know what that means. Just the kexts on the Boot-132 ISO? A retelling of the steps and the files needed would be great. I would be happy even to restructure a tutorial with all the needed pieces.
Now to see if I can solve this loop issue.
EDIT: Nope, that's a loop at the transfer phase. I can't even boot to a retail DVD or a iDeneb v1.5 DVD.
Help? I can get XP, OpenSolaris, Linux Mint and Kubuntu all working harmoniously with a universal GRUB /boot partition on a Dell D630, but I have stonewalled here with this stuff, especially since I can't even seem to get started.
