Yes. Actualy I just hope to get compiz working as I am dependant onb a good 
working screen zoom as on OSX. Then I am sure to use it as a daily driver, when 
getting some Lenovo gear.

That's too bad; Broadcom wifi adapters are notorious for Linux
unfriendliness. What's the model #? It's possible someone else figured
out how to get it working, or I suppose it's possible there's no fix.
I was going to suggest using Ethernet, but then I remembered you said "a
modern Macbook"...

I don't know, if Qubes is possible on a modern Macbook. I have tried several 
ways to attach the Broadcom wifi to sys-net, but either it is not shown in the 
machine or the system freezes.

And this struggles before trying to get the keyboard and touchpad running 
(still using USB keyboard and mouse.

Apple seems to do a great work in locking their system up.

Perhaps I can get a new laptop for my work in some months or so.

That was a very good idea. After editing the xml file I got to the stage 2 and 
I think Qubes had to do some last steps. Then Qubes OS booted. When I have the 
time, I can now look into enabling network etc.

When I am done, I try to make a short section for the macbook troubleshooting 
information.

Didn't think of it earlier, but you could also remove the devices
assigned to sys-net in that same section of XML. Look for lines like
  and delete them. If
that still doesn't let you boot Qubes, it's some other issue besides
sys-net.

Thank you for your help. I disabled all three autostart vms to hopefully get 
the system to start, but no luck. I think I surrender for now to get this

This is my workplace, so these options are not possible.

OK, I have managed to get to the rescue system, but there seems not to be a 
qubes-netvm to disable or the disabling of machines has changed.

The system boots up, shows a black screen with mouse cursor and is rebooting a 
short while after.

OK, I have managed to get to the rescue system, but there seems not to be a 
qubes-netvm to disable or the disabling of machines has changed.

The system boots up, shows a black screen with mouse cursor and is rebooting a 
short while after.

The Qubes installer is a modified version of Fedora's, so often the same 
procedures/documentation will apply. Check out 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/s1-rescuemode-boot.html. 
I can't verify, because UEFI is too broken on my systems.
