-Download Leopard (retail, not hacked distributions).
-Install using BOOT-132 method [details (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=140683)]
-Use Voodoo kernel and Chameleon 2 bootloader

-You'll need nForce chipset and AC97 audio drivers/extensions.
-Use EFIStudio version 1.0 to enable graphic card acceleration.
