How "Big" of you to drop by and post into the 10.6.support forum ...

It sounds like you forgot something in multibeast during the install - and I assume that this is a 10.6 to 10.7 install/upgrade you are doing!

What you can do is to enter that value at the boot up -

Using iBoot cd - boot from it - press the down arrow key to halt the auto boot process and you will see options on the screen - you now can enter the boot loader options just type them in and hit enter.

this add that value to the boot string /arguments to the os loader to use.
so I suggest you use these three -v -f and your graphics enabler option - dashs and space's are required in these arguments.

Also please update your signature file to include what hardware you are using for us to see what you hack build is - that way we dont have to ask silly questions.

And ... the following may appear excessive but you need to know that "knowledge is Power" Bazingga!

If you are unfamiliar w the internal workings of the Mackintosh world, I found the following websites and videos very be helpful.

But before you do this please look for some YOUtube vids under the name deanwrayUK
