I was just researching this yesterday! Have a line on a Pro 1,1 to sit next to the Pro 5 and wondered about the install. You say your graphics card has flashed firmware? Is that absolutely necessary?

For you Macheads out there, I just installed Yosemite on my MacPro using a custom bootloader. I’ve used the same means to do so with previous version of OS X that weren’t supported by Apple for my “antiquated” hardware - a MacPro 1,1 upgraded to 2,1 firmware with 14GB of RAM, four drives (boot
