Hi.
I've been trying unsuccessfully for a while to install Mac OS X 10.8.4 onto a CustoMac Mini Deluxe as listed in the April Buyer's Guide.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/344-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-april-2013.html
It's the basic build with no video card (yet), a 120GB Corsair SSD card and a 1TB Seagate HD.
I was excited to see the release of Unibeast 2.0 yesterday, as I thought it would solve my problem, but it made no difference.
This is what I've done:
Format a generic 8GB USB card as per the Guide.

The only difference is I named it Uni8eas2 instead of USB to remind me it's ML and UniBeast 2.
Use UniBeast 2.0 to install Mac OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion bought from the Apple App Store.
Erase and format the SSD as per the Guide.
Use the USB stick to install ML to the SSD.
Reboot to Chimera and select the new ML install to boot.
All I get is the Apple logo and a spinning progress wheel.
I left it overnight in case it was slow, but when I checked this morning, that's all I've got.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Thanks.
