Cant boot iBoot

[tvl1996]

I just need to know how i can boot without the CD.
If i take out the CD it says it has no boot file found.
+
If i type cd System/ in Terminal it says no such file or directory, why?

Try installing the 32 bit nullethernet kext. Use kext beast or kext wizard.

Then you can boot with iBoot and hopefully get to the Mac App Store after you've updated
to 10.6.8

Note that the 32-bit NullEthernet.kext is now linked from the NullEthernet README.

I've never had much luck (on laptops) booting 10.6.8 with iBoot.

I find usually I need a more modern bootloader (perhaps iBoot Haswell is using something newer than normal iBoot).

If that's the case, recommend preparing a USB with a "newish" Chimera or Chameleon on it (basic config too, NullEthernet, NullCPU, FakeSMC, etc)

So, i found out that this:
Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160
is my Wifi card. I dont think theres a kext for that one, so wifi is gonna be impossible i think. Hope for internet is gone.

Not supported. You need to replace it with compatible hardware.

Can you recommend any? Like e.g. Realtek?

For USB WiFi look at the Buyer's Guide.

Keep in mind your goal with SL is not to use it permanently. Your goal is only to download a newer OS X (10.11?).

So Ethernet, USB WiFi, or even USB Ethernet might be a better choice at this point. The list of compatible WiFi PCIe cards is different for SL vs. newer OS X.

If i have ethernet at SL, i can download Yosemite or newer and then use Unibeast to install Yosemite.

Unibeast does not install Yosemite.

It only creates a USB installer.

But you should follow the Clover laptop guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...de-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover.html

Note: You cannot download Yosemite unless you downloaded it prior to the release of El Capitan. If you didn't, 10.11 is your only choice now.

Well, the Ethernet kext didnt work. Wifi USB best option?
