Second reboot the system hangs with "waiting for root device".
I can get it to boot with the -f flag. Booting with no arguments it will always hang on "waiting for root device". I'm using a spare IDE HDD on the JMicron IDE controller. The drive is formatted as MBR (used the modified OSInstall.mpkg), the partition is the only one on that drive and the partition is set to active.
Looking through the thread I haven't found anything that relates to my situation, Googling just came with answers relating to the specific partition being set to active. Sorry for the wall of text on my first post.
Cliffs:
1. Followed Guide
2. "waiting for root device"
3. Profit?

Just forget the IDE jmicron controller, everything else works on this board, esata + hotswap, comports, firewire usb, all audio in and out, all 6x ich9r sata, sleep/wake etc "system updates".
The only thing that makes the system instable is jmicron ide, with more than 2gb RAM... you have kernel panics, or with patched drivers you are on the buggy site of the osx86 experience.
If you want to continue this way I can only tell you to boot with -f parameter you already figured out. The thing is that the patched jmicron.kext which contains the device-id of your jmicron controller can't be loaded within the mkext, therefor the system without "-f" boot option will not be able to find the OS located on the IDE disk... If you boot with -f it will somehow try and loads the patched jmicron driver and it works...
Go with a GUID partition table if the harddisk is empty anyway. Go without any zip archives from someone else...
Try to run your own Install with as less patches as possible. This is the most easy to maintain in the end.
Waht do you mean btw with "3 profit?"
