I have been stuck on this screen, I rechecked the bios settings a few times and have read everything on proper procedure and other problems. I replugged the sata's into the 3mb ports. What I didn't see is what happens after you use the iboot disc, does the screen just go back to the reboot screen? Is there a way to know that it was installed? I did use the haswell version and I have a new SL install disc, all components are new and chosen for compatibility. Maybe I need to burn a new iboot? I have both memory sticks in, some posts say to pull one out, however lots say that isn't necessary.
 
Looking at the tutorial again I noticed what I assume is the boot screen, I haven't seen this at all. I have burned a second disc and still no change.

If you get to this screen, then iBoot has done its job. It is time to remove it from the DVR and replace it with the Snow Leopard installation DVD. Wait until drive activity stops, hit F5 to refresh and the iBoot icon should be replaced with the Snow Leopard install icon. just hit enter to start the install process. Also, with your hardware, you should be using iBoot Haswell.
 
I could have written this post, word for word. My new build (yesterday) is:

GA Z97m D3H
i5 4460
120 SSd
1tb HDD
Lite-on DVD

I've checked everything, SATA is set to AHCI and can load Windows 7 recovery discs ( interrupted that, but it works).
Got SL 10.6.3 and made 2 iBoot Haswell discs ( 1 zipped, 1 unzipped) and copied them to flash drives none of which get me to the iBoot screen.
Your guide gives instructions what to type in if the installation fails but I can't type anything on the reboot screen which just keeps repeating message.
Help please.

iBoot runs from CD not flash drives.

One more thing, can I get someone with SL v. 10.6.3 or 8 or Yosemite on their kit to copy it to my SSD and will that be a useable boot disc?

I did mean that nothing works using both discs and flash drives as well as the SL disc - I tried them all in desperation.

Desperation is not an excuse for piracy.
