From OSX daily showing the boot process.

I find this a little odd, as the prelinkedkernel stage is at the beginning of the process, at least for Hackintosh. ++++++++++++++

This actually looks like a good troubleshooting diagram.

Yes, but if you run verbose you will see for hackintosh it’s almost backwards.

I can't read that fast! Haha.

But yes, I see what you're saying. I always see IO and USB messages near the end of the boot process while in this diagram it's at the beginning.

Maybe it's helpful if you reverse it?

Cheers
