hey there ,,
I got the same laptop the Toshiba A500 - 1f4 and tried to install the Snow leopard 10.6.3 retail DVD and used the multibeast 2.3.0 that is out now

but i couldn't get it to boot from the HD is till use the ibootCD (Empire EFI)

and the processor is still unknown

and the graphics is not read right the nvram and no QE or anything even the resolution in not the right one..


what are the kexts needed for this toshiba and how can i get it to boot from my HD directly
 
Has there been any new revelations on getting the microphone working on the R780? I need to get that autotune working on garage band
 
as your this post:
Hey Everyone Thnx in Advance but I'am literally desperate

anyway my Laptop is the Satellite A500 -1F4
Core i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz
and an Nvidia Graphics Card GT 330M

and BIOS ver. of 1.20

I tried to follow this guide here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=900&start=30

but I reached but with SL 10.6.3 Retail DVD it works fine and Installs

then when i used the multiBeast ver.2.3.0 I got my sound working track pad
BUT I couldn't till now boot from the Hard drive I must boot from the IBoot CD + I can't get the processor to be known ... (it is written unknown in the about this Mac)

and no native resolution neither a known nvram

Please help I need to get it work especially the Graphics card
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you cannot boot from hd because easybeast not contain JMicronx36ATA which important for booting from our ATA harddisk laptop from multibeast >advance option> kexts>disk
>JMicron36x>JMicronx36ATA
install JMicronx36ATA and run sytem utilities
for graphics goto macHD>extra>com.apple.Boot add following:
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
i hope help you wait for response
