Uncheck option " Erase destination" (so as not to overwrite name " SnowDVD" for the USB) and then click on Restore button.(If the Snow Leopard Retail DVD image is not listed at the left panel of Disk Utility, simply drag it to that panel) Drag the " Snow Leopard Retail DVD" to " Source" box. Drag the " SnowDVD" volume you just formatted and drop it to " Destination" box. You should see 2 fields on that tab's panel: " Source" and " Destination". You can name it anything you want but for this guide, we're gonna name it " SnowDVD" Click on USB drive from the list at the left panel and format it as " Mac OS Extended Journaled".With your USB drive plugged in and a copy of an image of Snow Leo Retail DVD handy, launch Disk Utility which can be found in Applications > Utilities.HP Mini 1000 EFI Auto Setup for 10.6.3 ( H P Mini 1000 EFI Auto Setup for 10.6.3 is compatible with 10.6.2)
MacOSX10.6.2ComboUpdt.dmg ( we're NOT using the v1.1 update as that version may cause WiFi probs more this only refers to connection quality issues, if your Mini does not have a Snow Leo compatible card, this unrelated to that) *Apparently, 10.6.3 Combo Update which is not v1.1 is no longer available, please update to 10.6.2 first and then update again to 10.6.3 again later if you insist on getting the non v1.1 10.6.3 updateĦ. NetbookBootMaker 0.8.3 (we're still using v0.8.3 because 0.8.4 is still in Release Candidate version)ĥ. USB flashdrive or external hard drive - at least 8GBĢ. So without further ado, here's Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on the HP Mini 1000 à la LeMaurien19 :Dġ. This means we can get our Mini 1000's Atom processor pass of as valid Mac Intel procies for use with Mac OS X and avoid the dreaded "boot loop" while using original mach_kernel - one less thing to worry about in future updates. To understand why the obsession with EFI boot method, click here also aside from being EFI, with this guide, we won't be using any modified/hacked mach_kernel as we're gonna use a version of Chameleon bootloader that auto-patches the kernel for us on the fly during boot up. It'a very good guide for updating to 10.6.3 but we can take it another route EFI Boot. Good thing a forumer named lollipop from the Mac OS X forums has been keeping the "project" alive (I'm now used to calling Mac OS X efforts on specific netbook builds as "projects" because of the HP Mni 311 Darwin Project).
But I still haven't played with it for quite a while - never had the patience to figure why it wouldn't sleep in 10.6.3. It was borked out for a period of time and was just recently resurrected from the land of the dead. I admit that I've been neglecting the HP Mini 1000, my very first MacBook Mini. My recommendation is to stick with 10.6.2 at the highest version with this guide for best results. Now, I no longer have my HP Mini 1000 with me.
UPDATE (): There were still issues with 10.6.3 and I never go to sort them out.
