Successful install ML 10.8.5 on Asus Z87-A W/working LAN. Need help with 2 things to make it perfect

[shuzzy]

As said, Successful Install!

To get there I had to install the 1405 Bios from Asus then the installer worked like a charm!

Network drivers supplied with multibeast do not work for the 8111GR
I found a Kext on another site which did the trick. Not sure about the rules for posting the link here.
Installed the kext with kextbeast and presto!

Using multibeast, I installed the Audio Driver and FakeSMC only.

Everything working: Sleep, Audio, USB, etc.

Where I'm having trouble is getting it to boot without the USB Stick. I've tried installing Chimera with multibeast and still get the flashing "-" Need the USB to boot. Using the Non DSDT setting checkbox on Multibest caused the system to go to black screen during boot and i had to reinstall.

The only other issue is no audio on HDMI.

I must be missing something, I've been through the forum trying to find an answer to my booting issue.
The HDMI, from what i've read is that I may not get it working.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

In short, after install i'll i've added is the FakeSMC kext (not sure if i need it), Audio driver, and Lan Driver.
Other then that it is Vanilla.

Thank you in advance, Shuzzy.

I know it's a bit late, but in case you haven't solved your problem yet:

I have the Z87-A as well and I solved the bootloader issue using this tutorial:

​

I then installed FakeSMC:

​

See if that works!

I followed your instructions and chimera did show and i can successfully boot with -x but anything else results in the system hanging at "Sound assertion in AppleHADEngine at line 581"
