A quick search revealed that you need to flash your mobo with a modded bios.

Disk utility
When you see the "welcome screen" at the top will be a bar with drop down menus.Select "utilities","disk utility" and on the left hand side you will see your hd listed.Click on it,then select "erase"click on "volume format" and select one of the "mac os extended" choices then erase it.Exit the disk utility,select continue,agree and you should see your hard drive listed now.

Thanks. Got it installed.
...now it's just a matter of finding a way for my BIOS to boot to USB. :/ 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers.
