Yes I believe it would.

Here is a wiki on injecting texts into an iso.

Alright guys!

- So basically, i figured out what the error was. It was my IDE Drive. Because every time the "Still waiting .." error came, my drive stopped running.

Now, i don't have any SATA DVD or USB DVD drive. So i took another IDE drive which i had, and tried that. An Optiarc drive.

And it worked. Only with iPC though!

So i wrote "-v -x -f rd=disk0s2" and BAM, it accessed the installation.
I formatted and partitioned my HDD to a GUID partition. Customized my installation, and installed. Now, at the boot up i wrote "cpus=1 rd=disk0s2 -v -x -f"
it got through some stuff, and started. BUT it only gave me a blue screen.
Now before this, it came all up with some graphic codes and display and so on ..
So i thought, "It's probably my ATI graphic card." So i went trough the install again, so i could install some ATI drivers, i wrote the "cpus=1 rd=disk0s2 -v -x -f" again, BUT!

It didn't redirect me to the installation! It got me to the brand new installed iPc 10.5.6!!

And it works right now! I'm so happy! thank you for helping me!

-UPDATE-

Alright guys some updates here:

I have to boot up with the CD every time. And with the command: "rd=disk0s2 -x"
Sound doesn't work. Tried the VoodooHDA.kext and all kinds of different shit.
Network works perfectly
The quartz thingy for the graphics is on "Not Supported." I have found the DeviceID & VendorID though, and found out that the 3650 series had the same ID's. Tried to install it, didn't make any changes. (I have the 3600 series.)
Printer works.
Uses all four cores.
USB doesn't work. - Even though i tried the USB Mass fix, and the USB Mount fix. Not together, since it would mess up if you did. I've done multiple installs, with different kernel extensions.

Hmm .. If anyone could help me with the sound, i would be very glad.

When you did the install, did you choose to install a bootloader like Chameleon?

If you didn't, go to kexts.com, go to downloads, bootloaders, and download the RC4 package, install it while within Leopard, reboot. Keep in mind that if you have windows on the same drive, it will damage the boot record for windows so you will need to do a repair with your windows disk, if not, no worries.

I believe this will eliminate your need for the rd=disk0s2 as the bootloader will automatically point to the partition with Leopard.

As for sound, i got mine working with the AppleAzalia driver/kext, sound works, but I can't control the volume at the moment. I have Realtek HD Audio, check and see who makes your audio card, and check on kexts.com and see if its available for you.

One more thing, if you had disabled your Audio in your bios before the Leopard install, go back in and enable it, this might be why its not working.

I've tried to put OS X on a P5N-E and also get the Still waiting for root device. I gave up because in the bios there was no way to change from IDE to ACHI which I fiqured was the problem...
