Instructions to install Max OSX
-------------------------------
1) Flashed bios to 0.43 The board came with 0.23. Needed to create bootable USB with DOS.
2) Used "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" v10.8.2 and built a UniBeast USB Installer on a 16GB USB Flash Drive
You will need UniBeast - Mountain Lion to create the USB Installer.
Building the UinBeast installer took about 15 minutes.
3) Enter PC Bios and Load Defaults, then ensure SATA mode is set to AHCI

4) Insert the USB stick into a USB 2.0 port and boot and install onto PC
Making a large HD (greater than 1TB) bootable (not needed if HD is 1TB or less)
[ I did not do this as my drives were under 1TB ]
---------------------------------------------
5) If installing onto a HD that is over 1TB, do the following:
XX) Reboot the USB stick, and choose to boot into the Lion installation.
XX) Open up System Profiler and determine the install drive's BSD Name.
1) Reboot the USB stick and choose USB
2) Run Disk Utility and unmount the drive you installed OS Lion on.
3) Get the drive device name of your target volume from Disk Utility by selecting the volume and clicking Info.
*** Make VERY certain that you are looking at the correct volume ***
4) Launch Terminal and execute the following command:
dd if=/Volumes/USB/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
NOTE: (replace "USB" with your actual volume name of your UniBeast volume)
(replace "disk0s2" with your unix drive name... looked up in System Profiler/Serial-ATA...BSD Name)
NOTE: If you get a "Resource Busy" error, you forgot step 4 (Unmount!)
5) Quit Terminal
---------------------------------------------
6) Reboot the USB stick, and choose to boot into the Mountain Lion Installation.
8) Using Safari on the install, Download and Run MultiBeast (or have it ready on the USB stick)
Use MultiBeast 5.0.2 to install the following
- EasyBeast (installs Chimera 1.11

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280x1024x32@60</string>
- To solve Auto Restart after Shut Down
I set Power/Wake From LAN to Stay Off in the BIOS
- Installed Realtek ALC8XX/Without DSDT/ALC892 to get audio working.
Hooked amp to green output jack
Selected "Internal Speakers" as output device in Sound control panel
