I got the install working on the external USB. I'd rather have it internal, but it's an old IDE 60Gb I had lying around in a box unopened. I wasn't sure if OSX would support IDE. I thought I'd use that for the system and my 500Gb SATA as a storage drive. I think the cause of my previous setup issue was possibly saving the OS Install dmg in the wrong mode.
Thanks for the single user mode instruction. I'll try it at next reboot. Was sitting idle for a couple of hours and woke from sleep nice as can be. And that's after 10.6.2 update and not rebuilding kext cache. A few bugs, i.e. no sound yet on ALC889, but getting there.
Thanks
