No, I didn't. I had the pre-prepped HD image, but the ISO was crapped.

Re-did it and it worked, it's booting now.

Unfortunately, it's booting on my home machine and i'm at work, looking at it on Terminal Services, so it'll be DOG slow! lol

Edit:

Is this meant to happen after the apple logo?

?

Edit2:

Never mind! It was booting, but SO slow!

I tried it kinda :/ but i got lost :|

#
#	bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
#	machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
#

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
#prom_env_machargs = "-v"
prom_env_machargs = ""

#
#	This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X
#

Go into your config file and change the "prom_env_machargs" to read "-s". Thats SMALL s, not capital s. Obviously if the line is commented out, remove the # so it works

Soooooo which one do I edit :|

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
#prom_env_machargs = "-v"
prom_env_machargs = ""

#

#

hmm, it is said to edit "prom_env_machargs =" - not -"#prom_env_machargs =" you see the difference?

try also to change the one with "-v" -to- "-s" after trying the other first :) good luck!

Was getting the same problem with 10.3 as those above... after waiting hours for the installer to run and commenting out the slave thing, it just wouldn't boot.

Will try this PROM thing out tonite!!

yessss, I did it!! heres what I did:

before step 13 in this guide you'll have to follow the prom thing.

the important thing is to put the partitions in right order:

the right order is:

1.the map partition

2.the osx installation partition (the one thats 2.9 GB)

3. the rest

4. the rest

after this you do step 13 in this guide :)

good luck

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I recommend checking to see if your UEFI/Bios is up to date.  It took me a while to find the product / support download page. https://test.colorful.cn/en/home/product?mid=84&id=937    
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By +seb5150 · Posted

      Calendar management with the new Outlook is horrendous! Things I can do in one or two clicks in classic take 4-5 in the new version. Sometimes I can't even find the same options I had in classic.

      10 games join Xbox Free Play Days this weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Another Free Play Days offer has just landed, and this one is a unique one. On top of offering 10 games to jump into for Xbox players, all the titles are from a single publisher: No More Robots. The promotion has games like Little Rocket Lab, Spirittea, Descenders Next, Let's Build a Zoo, and much more. Almost every game in the selection does need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or Essential subscription, so keep this in mind when browsing. Many of the titles are Xbox Play Anywhere titles though, so both Xbox console and PC players can jump in. Here's how the announcement blog post described some of the available titles: There is one game that's available to all Xbox players without the need for any subscriptions, which is Descenders. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Little Rocket Lab (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Spirittea (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Soccer Story (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Descenders Next (Game Preview) (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Let's Build a Zoo (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Hypnospace Outlaw (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Nowhere Prophet (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) Family Man (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Descenders (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 7, at 11:59 pm PT.

      It STILL has horrid theme support. Hard to look at for me. The white is too bright, and the black too dark. I'm using classic outlook for the Dark Grey theme. It's just right for me.
