"still waiting for root device" usually means that you have your Unibeast flash drive in a USB3 port.

If this is the case, move it to a USB2 port.
If it's already in a USB2 port, move it to another one.

Why are you using a MacBookPro8,1 system definition with a Desktop motherboard ?
I suspect that you made the wrong selections in Unibeast.

16. If using a 5 or 6 Series system with AWARD BIOS choose Legacy USB Support

You don't have a 5 or 6 Series system so Legacy USB Support is not required.

17. If using a laptop, choose Laptop Support

You don't have a Laptop so Laptop Support is not required.
