I can see a simple solution to getting past the "decomissioning" (My iMac has a bad CMOS battery, so it won't see the time) as long as it isn't connected to the internet, it should load up properly. i'll check with my 'supplier" who gave me the public beta along with 4 developer previews, to see if he's ever gotten them running. I might be able to get it booting properly on my tray loader, and run from there. (i'll let you know what I find out about them.)
