Installation
-First of all follow the tonymacx86 installation guide HERE and make UniBeast USB.
-If you have more hard drives/SSDs, unplug them all except one you going to install OS X on.
-Go to Bios and "Load optimized defaults" and that is all for the bios, Vt-D is disabled by default on this motherboard. Exit bios and don't forget to save changes you did.
-Once you see Asrock logo press F11 to enter boot menu, chose your usb drive and hit enter.
-When you get into boot loader chose USB(don't hit enter yet) and type "-v -x" without quotes, otherwise you won't get into installation process.
-Once you reach installer do the following:
Read the tonymacx86 guide again. (from 6.)
-Wait till installation is done.
-When system will reboot make sure to press F11 again when Asrock logo appears. But this time you have to boot from your hard drive, so when you enter bootloader choose your harddrive and again write "-v -x".
-Set up your account.
-When that is done, drag MultiBeast into your application folder, run it and click "quick start" then choose "Easybeast". Then do everything as shown on image below and click install.


-After that is done you have to reboot your computer, you will still have to boot from USB, so repeat this step, press F11 when Asrock logo appears, chose your hard drive and only hit enter this time and osx will boot normally.
-Now most important step if you want direct boot from your hard drive, follow this article HERE (start at step 1), and ignore everything what is written before that. If you did all correctly OS X should boot directly from your hard drive.
If you get boot0:error follow MacMan's boot0 guide.
I hope that helps, everything worked for me so far and i have no problem with anything, the only thing i didn't try is installing audio drivers, because I'm using usb sound card (Focusrite Scarlet 2i2) which works right out of the box, without installing any drivers.
I'll keep you updated with any news or problems in this thread.

Hi,

Can you please tell me from where did you get the driver for the Video Card, i have the exact same one and didn`t find one,

Thanks!

Hi Tiimp,

Thanks for this simple guide! I've been looking for the easiest build on the forums and I think this is the one i'm leaning towards. I noticed you you were using a Focusrite sound card and wanted to know how that's been working for you? I'm planning to use this system for my recording studio and wanted to know if everything has been running smooth for you. Also, is it possible to just use the on board video card? I don't really want to spend on a GPU. Thanks for your help!

Jstyles408,
Be sure to check the Forum's Music section > http://www.tonymacx86.com/music/

BoomR's sticky threads are informative as are his build descriptions.

Thanks for the information Stork! By the way, I really like your hector build, thanks for your guide as well!

May anyone help me? How can I solve the problem during going the install page, and the computer stop at here ><"""



My Hardware list:

Asrock H97M Pro4
Intel i5-4460
HD 4600
Adata 8GB Ram 1666
Toshiba 2TB HD

Wish someone can help me to solve the problem

^ My install stops at the exact same point - same motherboard, i5 and MSI GTX 970

EDIT: I solved this using the following boot parameters at install, yet to see how I get on after the initial install though:

maxmem=4096 no-zp -v -x -f nv_disable=1 GraphicsEnabler=No

My sleep and wake are working. I used rednous config list, just search his name on Google.
Use his first config list and edit the config to your machine. It worked for me and hopefully for you too .
