"Chameleon cdboot (boot132) for 10.6

by flashGX

Package:

contents:
everything you need, just add any extra kexts you want and MAKE SURE YOU ADD your efi strings and graphics mode to the provided boot.plist! the cdboot is version 655 from the upcoming chameleon release which has native snow leopard support! amazing work guys!

1. Download the package and extract it to your home folder. (AKA /Users/yournamehere/)
2. Add EFI strings and graphics mode to provided boot.plist
3. Add any extra kexts that you want inside the Preboot.dmg.
4. DSDT.aml loading didn't work for me. the dvd still boots fine, it just resets my cmos. If this happens, just go last known good and youll be fine.
5. Once your all done you need to make an eltorito bootable iso, enter this in terminal tehn type your password when it asks:

Code:

sudo hdiutil makehybrid -o cdboot.iso cdboot/ -iso -hfs -joliet -eltorito-boot cdboot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -hfs-volume-name "SL boot132" -joliet-volume-name "SL boot132"

6. once this is done burn to cd-rw
7. reboot, and boot from cd. you'll get about 4 or 5 ebios errors, then the disk will load. When your at the chameleon screen, take out the boot cd and swap in your snow leopard dvd and press F5. you should then see Mac OS X Install DVD appear. i usually boot in -v to make sure i know what goes wrong if it hangs.
8. Install Snow like you would. youll obviously need to do to boot from the cd again to get into the SL install once your done. then install chameleon to EFI or whatever and swap in the netkas 10.1 boot pcefi file until the new chameleon release comes out. Probably best to use rc1 of chameleon.

Enjoy

All credits to the chameleon team, netkas, and anyone else striving to make this a reality. you are the kings of osx86. i merely put this guide together!

special thanks to noob766 who has been testing disks tirelessly with me this week.

Works perfectly for me

I think it's definitely worth a shot...

For some reason I am getting a Kernel Panic, when I try to mount the Preboot.dmg

And no this is not a seatbelt.kext problem - any other dmg mounts just fine!
Might it be possible that I need 10.6 to edit it?

Shouldn't be. I was able to mount it fine in 10.5.8
