I now managed to boot Mountain Lion with -x and I was able to do the MultiBeast Installation. But I still get stuck at the same line when trying to boot:
I now finally managed to install a Dual-Boot solution on ONE SSD with Windows 8 + Mountain Lion on my System!!!!! All thanks to texts that I gathered around this awesome site! In case other people have the same setup as I do (and also for future reference), here is what I did:
Load Optimized Defaults in BIOS
Deselect VT-d in BIOS
Boot using the Mountain Lion / UniBeast USB-Stick
Use the Disk Utility in order to create 2 Partitions.
First: Macintosh / MacOS Extended (Journaled)
Second: Windows / FAT32.
Click on Options and make sure GUID Partition Table (GPT) is selected)
Boot using a Linux Live USB Stick
open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gptsync
sudo apt-get install gparted
this will install the two programs you will need for the next step
run the following command:
sudo gparted
Delete the Windows / FAT32 Partition. Click Apply
Create a new Partition Windows / NTFS. Click Apply
run the following command:
sudo gptsync /dev/sda
(Note: /dev/sda is the target drive)
Shut down the Computer and disconnect the USB Sticks, make sure only one Hard Drive is connected.
Start the Computer. Go to BIOS and deselect UEFI as Boot-mode (select Legacy Mode)
Make sure that the Hard Drive is set as primary boot device (DVD second)
Insert Windows 8 DVD and start installation
when asked where to install, select the Windows / NTFS partition (should be the third partition).
Install.
Boot Using the Mountain Lion / UniBeast USB Stick
When asked where to install, you are probably unable to select the Macintosh Partition that you prepared earlier.
Open Disk Utility (again).
Erase the Macintosh Partition.
Create a new Macintosh / MacOS Extended (Journaled) Partition
Close Disk Utility
Install OS X
Boot using the Mountain Lion / UniBeast USB Stick. NOTE: When installing El Capitan or newer, Go to BIOS and select UEFI+Legacy as Boot-mode FIRST!
Select your new Macintosh installation and boot with following parameters:
boot -x
Your new OS X installation should now boot directly from the hard drive.
Open Safari.
Download MultiBeast for Mountain Lion.
Launch the program using these options:
- UserDSDT or DSDT-Free installation
- Drivers & Bootloaders / Drivers / Audio / Realtek ALC8xx / Without DSDT / ALC892
- Network / Realtek - Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx v.0.0.90
- Bootloaders / Chimera
- Customization / Bootoptions / GraphicsEnabler=No
- Customization / Bootoptions / 1080p Display (Use only if you have a monitor with native 1080p resolution)
The Lnx2Mac Network Installation should pop up.
Install.
Disconnect the USB Drive.
Reboot.
Chimera will now boot OS X automatically.
If you want to load Windows instead, press any key. Select Windows and hit enter.
