I have done the first couple of steps of formatting the usb drive with the Mac OSX partition with journaling, restored a 10.6.3 img file in a VMWare session of OSX 10.6.2, used myhack 1.1 (with graphics enabled) then to test out if the USB boot would, it would sit at a blinking cursor (Im running a 435mt), I do not understand where to type in -x or -x -y when booting, I did this on the blinking cursor and did nothing.

You should be typing in -x at the Chameleon bootloader screen, just type -x when you see the partition selector.

I was wondering if you had any luck getting network access working, and dual monitors.

Network works fine for me, however I have a Belkin F5D7050B Wireless USB w/ the correct driver for it; so native Network I haven't been able to try; not having access to a physical cable, same w/ dual monitor; but I see no reason why w/ the right kext there would be a problem. :X

the setup is mostly complete I think, I am able to boot into Safe Mode but not into regular mode. When i setup the kexts for the video, I did that in Safe mode by copying the three kexts into the system extensions folder then the legacyaticontroller kext into the extra\extension folder. after that, I ran kext utility, rebooted again with -x, then rebooted and it comes up with:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button until it turns off, then press then power button again."

this is what I have done in order:
- got a vm of 10.6.2
- got a 10.6.3 dmg image
- got an 8gb flash drive
- got a 320gig SATA drive (put this in a USB/eSata external drive, only USB works)
- loaded the vm,
- loaded the 8gb drive and formatted with MacOS Journaling, restored the 10.6.3 image to the usb drive, ran myhack on the usb drive with Graphics enabled.
- formatted the 320 gig drive to MacOS Journaling
- rebooted on the USB 8gb drive, loaded with -x -v
- installed MacOSX 10.6.3 on the 320gig drive
- attempted to boot to the 320 gig drive, sits at a blinking cursor
- rebooted into windows with the OSX VM, loaded myhack onto the 320 gig hard drive, copied the kexts and kext utility to a new folder on the root of the drive
- rebooted to the usb 320 gig drive, loaded with -x, loads into safe mode
- copied the kexts into system\extensions and the legacyaticontroller.kext to extra\extension
- ran kext utility after coping the files
- rebooted, loaded into -x, back into Safe Mode
- rebooted again, got the prompt to reboot the machine...

I messed up somewhere, I followed the new directions and had to add more to boot into the safe mode part... any help?
