Well, no offense, but you picked a build that is not officially supported yet for your first CustoMac build, so you are experiencing a HUGE learning curve. X99 is a brand new chipset and, as yet, there are no Apple-branded products using both the X99 chipset and the Haswell-E class of processors. So everything right now is super-difficult. Of course, you've already got your hardware bought, so just know that you will need an extra measure of patience right now....

Having said that, copy/paste in your org.chameleon.boot.plist text into a reply here. I think you have your syntax & location wrong for the npci=0x2000...since it's at the PCI enable stage that you're getting stuck.

I tried several bootflags. Keep ending with "Still Waiting for root device"

SUPER THANKS for helping!
I already posted newer pictures of where it 'hangs' so perhaps I have the .plist file correct now?
I first tried this: <key>npci=0x2000</key>
Then: npci=0x2000
then: <string>npci=0x2000</string>

Now it is still waiting for 'root device'

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

I tried:
- <string>npci=0x2000</string> (and <key>npci=0x2000</key>)
- two different usb drives
- different USB ports (2.0 /3.0)
- I tried -v -x -s

Now am stuck here (see pic)

I look forward to read everyones thoughts

What did I do wrong?

There's your problem - the npci=0x2000 syntax is incorrect - it all goes on 1 line with kext-dev-mode. Change your UniBeast USB key's org.chameleon.boot.plist to read as follows:
Code: 
    <key>Kernel Flags</key>
    <string>kext-dev-mode=1 npci=0x2000</string>

Make sure when you get your system built and make the same edits to your org.chameleon.boot.plist on your boot drive, that you use the same syntax.

Also - I forgot that you had GTX 970 card. You need to type one other thing at the Chimera screen (the USB logo at the black screen):

nv_disable=1

Becuase you have that high-end NVIDIA card, you need to put it into SVGA mode until you get OSX installed. So during initial setup, you always need to use that boot argument.

Once Yosemite is installed and you also run MultiBeast, start studying this thread & follow the instructions:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...1f01-maxwell-geforce-gtx-970-980-support.html

That will get your graphics card running. BTW, since that was posted, NVIDIA has released an even newer version of the drivers. Just go into System Preferences > NVIDIA and have the prefs panel check for updates.

Really appreciate it, i can't Wait!
Hope it will work.
One noob question: in the first page Tony writes: "
Post Installation 8. Run MultiBeast with your system's default spec plus MacPro6,1 system definition"
- Do i put multibeast on the usb as well?
I suppose the rest will make sense once i am in multibeast
