So over the weekend I installed Snow Leopard on my PC (spec Intel Quad Core Q6600, Asus P5K premium board, 4Gb OCZ 1066 ram, Asus 8800gt TOP 512mb) using a retail disc and the installer ISO provided by the OSx86 project here burnt on to a CD.
I was keen to keep the installation as 'vanilla' (i.e. unmodified retail install) as possible and was rather pleased when OS X installed without any problems and internet and sound worked straight away. The resolution initially wouldn't go over 1024 x 768, but I installed the NVinject 512mb kext and now have it working on my monitor's native resolution. Did all the software updates so now running 10.6.2 without any problems, everything looks and works perfectly, with just one kext.
Only problem is I can't get the system to boot without the OSx86 project CD in the drive (which is based on Darwin Universal Boot Loader). I've tried Chameleon and a packaged PC EFI installation, but I can't find any clear instructions anywhere for a reasonably simple boot method that actually works straight from the hard drive.
Can anyone help?
