Awesome job!
Nearly painless installation!

Just some things you may want to Bold in your documentation, to save time for noobs like me:
I reinstalled OSX Just because when i rebooted, i was booting off the DVD rather than the Hard drive. You mentioned it here, but it wasn’t blatant enough. ” I got around this by having the install DVD in, booting off the DVD” I just had to eject the dvd, then reboot, and Ta-Da, OSX

You should point out that it is important ONLY to select the essentials in customize that you listed, i selected almost everything, and in return i got the Mac equivalent of a BSOD upon reboot.

And apart from that, a FANTASTIC guide, now i can Finally write an iPhone application!

Thank you so much for your help,
will reccomend to friends!

Worked for me almost fine. I’ve received following error when installed iATKOS v7 with drivers you listed:

localhost mDNSResponder [20]: Couldn’t read user-specified Computer Name;
localhost mDNSResponder [20]: Couldn’t read user-specified local hostname;

While installing next time I’ve checked all ethernet drivers, and this helped.

P.S. Thanks for great article )

If I am assuming correctly, you are on a desktop. The “no” sign is usually caused by a SATA/IDE error. Open up your case and make sure that the hard drive is primary and is not a “slave”. I used a laptop and didn’t have that problem, but read about several other users having that issue. If you were on a laptop I would say the issue was a incorrect SATA driver.

Check if your CPU supports SSE3, mine did not.

I don’t recall seeing those errors, but then again – I was a zombie at some points. Try Googling them

Almost! So I got the grey screen and the “no” symbol and I was bummed. Not really sure but I tried the cpus=1 rd=disk0s1 -v -x and it got me right in. I already downloaded the iPhone SDK so now I’m going to try and get it setup. The audio doesn’t work but I didn’t really try to install much to start. I need a wireless card too so no internet.

Any idea what would happen if I plugged in my external HD that I until now have only used on windows machines? Will it want to format it?

Also, what happens when I restart? Think I will have to “cpus=1 rd=disk0s1 -v -” every time?

Finally, these were the only things I was able to write down on start up, these errors tell anyone anything?
enabling sse3 emulator…done – (I have an old machine, shouldn’t I be running sse2?)
Path monitoring failed on var/log/asl: no such file or directory
DumpPanic: Error getting a reference to IODeviceTree:/options

Thank you so much! This is a great start!

OMG This is awesome. I’m trying right now on a:

EMachines C6207 – Athlon 64 3400+ 2.4 GHz – specifications
* AMD Athlon 64 3400+ / 2.4 GHz
* ATI Radeon Xpress 200 – Integrated
* RAM 768.0 MB / 2.0 GB (max)
* DVD-Writer – IDE
* Sound card – Integrated – AC ’97
* Network adapter – Integrated

I selected hardly any customize options, only kernel and maybe one other. I didn’t select a VGA driver as I didn’t want to add the wrong thing.
Cheers, I’ll let you know how it goes, about 1/3rd through thus far – and leaving for work ….
