I have a BW I tried installing OS X on and it never got past registration. The system would never install as a blessed file. Had no scsi card, a 7200 rpm 120 gig drive ide, enough ram.... The drive has a 7.89 partition on the first end for x. All was done correctly. Tried 6 times. No joy. Any ideas?
