I'm assuming the magic customize button is in the installer and I cannot get to the installer because of the waiting for root device thing.
I tried everything mentioned in the sticky about waiting for root device error but nothing's worked so far.

See, it helps to mention that bit. We're not mind readers.

Your SPECIFIC version of the SB600 or SB700 chipset may not be supported at the moment, but there's a new PPF on the way that should fix that. Should be out sometime this week.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. My chipset is SB400 though (according to cpu-z). But I guess I could wait for the new PPF and try it out then. Thanks.

in the meantime you could try LawlessPPC 10.5.4 and give OSx86 a try on that machine... It never hurts to have a few different distro's lying around anyways. LawlessPPC is not as up-to-date but it will at least let you boot up and install the base system (it does install a good system, but since you wanted iPC in the first place you can then continue to use the iPC distro from there to get the rest of your hardware working. either way will work and right now it is just about getting a working system to update/upgrade from.
