If you want to trick the installer into thinking you have a PowerPC G4 processor with some serious processor speed, follow this: (This is going to mod this info on open firmware until you restart telling the Mac OS X system that you have a faster processor when in reality you don't to fool the installer.)
restart your mac, and press and hold COMMAND+OPTION+O+F If you have a single core PowerPC processor use these following commands: dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0 d# 2000000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property boot Those commands will fool the installer into thinking you have a 2.0Ghz PowerPC G4 processor. For PowerPC G5 processors or G3 processors, replace the line where it says "dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0" to your processor type "dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0" or to "dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0", depending on your processor type. For dual core cpu's, type in this: dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0 d# 2500000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@1 d# 2500000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property boot This command will fool the installer into thinking you have a dual core 2.5Ghz CPU.
