OSX 9

OSX 9 Mavericks - fresh install

using a mac or mackintosh with OS10.6 - Snow Leopard or above, download
    Unibeast
    Multibeast 6 (Mavericks edition)
Create AppleID
download free Mavericks file from MacAppStore - but do NOT install
using DiskUtility format USB >= 8GB
use Unibeast to create Mavericks Installer USB
copy Multibeast to USB
boot into USB (using BIOS boot menu)

at big X, use menu to reach disk utility and erase/or create single partition named Mavericks
then exit disk utility to begin installation
.............................. . . . .
after about 15 minutes installing onto SSD there is an auto restart
however disk is still not setup for booting so we get flashing cursor on black screen
_
first -> power off button
then boot from USB again (using BIOS boot menu)
->
arrow key to Mavericks icon, and enter to continue installation











at desktop open USB and open previously saved Multibeast 6.0

"build" preferences will depend on actual system hardware

example 1

asus P8Z68-V-LX board:
Quickstart - Easybeast
Drivers      - Audio     - RealtecALCxxx/Without DSDT/ALC887/888b Current v100302
                 - Network - Realtek - Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx v0.0.90

set system preferences/energy saver/Computer Sleep -> never

example 2

gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L board:
Quickstart - Easybeast
Drivers      - Audio     - Universal / VoodooHDA v2.7.3
Network  - for v2.4 board use Realtek - Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx v0.0.90
                - for v2.0 board use Atheros - Shailua's ALXEthernet v1.0.2

save *build.mb configuration file
install

edit following <key>'s in  /Extra/org.chamelion.Boot.plist
                       ...
 <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
 <string>Yes</string>
                      ...
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-f</string>
                       ...

( cont...)

unmount USB
restart

Updates to OS 10.9.x cause kernel panic to restore:

boot from USB installer , choose "Mavericks" icon ,
open Multibeast 6.0
load previously saved *build.mb
install
edit /Extra/org.chamelion.Boot.plist file as above


results 

DVD player now works (didn't with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard)

issues
wifi doesn't work - as expected
asus board fan doesn't 'sleep' - a 'special' BIOS upgrade may be required , but this could be too risky
java

summary
Asus board   P8Z68-V-LX                  Gigabite board GA-G31M-ES2L
  AppStore Login                                   No login,  pciroot=1 -> boot - > black screen
  Dictation                                               No
  Quicktime Screen Capture                 No
  Sleep/NO wake                                     Sleep/Wake

HDs with 4Kb block size will give boot0 GPT test error

solution 1 - reboot via installer, use disk utility to unmount HD, launch terminal
dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
assuming HD is SATAII on port 0

solution 2 - ( easier ) - put target HD into USB enclosure , then do fresh install as above

remove NetworkInterfaces.plist from Library/Preferences/System Configuration
to reinitialize Audio delete relevant kext (e.g. VoodooHDA.kext) from System/Library/Extensions
always boot from installer USB to reconfigure with Multibeast 6 as above

to do list
flash asus board BIOS to fix Power Management issue
test installation on other Gigabyte board - 945gcm-s2L
test dual monitors
install Excel on wine or virtual machine/WinXP/
