MAC OS X on AMD.....

Heya All,
Last night I finally figured out how to install Zephiroth's Mac OS X 10.5.1 AMD DVD. Here are the steps that I used:

1. Download Zephiroth's Mac OS X 10.5.1 AMD torrent if you haven't already
2. Extract all parts of the included rar files by opening the first and selecting extract
3. Burn the extracted ISO to a DVD with Nero Burning Rom at maximum speed(I used version 7.9)
4. Format your Mac install partition as FAT32 otherwise the installer won't see it - make sure the drive you install to has an IDE interface
5. Restart and set your boot device to your CD/DVD-ROM drive
6. Let the Darwin bootloader start without any options (It will take about 5 or minutes to load the Mac OS X installer)
7. When you are loaded into the installer, select your language and click next
8. After you get to the next screen, go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility
9. Create and format a mac volume on your destination disk and label it "Leopard"
10. Exit Disk Utility
11. Click Next on the OS X installer
12. Click Customize and uncheck everything (you must make sure they are all unchecked or the installer will hang trying to install them)
13. First uncheck extra fonts and then expand the languages option and uncheck French
14. Proceed with unchecking everything
15. Click OK
16. Now click Install
17. Mac will now install (it will take about an hour to completely install)
18. After installation is complete, you will need to make the partition bootable
19. Boot from the DVD and hit F8
20. Type in -s
21. At the prompt, type in this:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX --->(X is the number of your HD, if you only have one it's 0)
update
f X --->(X is the number of the partition where you installed Leopard, usually 1 or 0) - if 0 doesn't exist, try 1
w
q
reboot
22. You will now be able to boot Leopard
23. If you have a PS2 keyboard, you will need to install the driver - skip to step 31 if you have a USB keyboard
24. The easiest way to install the driver is to copy it from your installation DVD from Windows to your Mac partition
25. Windows does not natively install support for HFS+ Mac partitions so you will need to download a program like Mac Drive to view the files
26. Once you install Mac Drive, open your Mac partition and the installation DVD in My Computer
27. Navigate to "System\Library\Extensions\" on your Mac Hard Drive and "System\Library\Extensions\" on your installation DVD
28. Locate the file "ApplePS2Controller.kext" on the installation DVD and copy it to your Mac Hard Drive
29. Restart your computer and select your Mac partition from the boot options
30. You should now be able to boot your Mac partition and use your PS2 keyboard/mouse
31. Follow the onscreen instructions to setup your user account
32. After that is complete, you now have a functional Mac OS X system running on your AMD rig!  
33. Install any other drivers that you may need for your hardware using the above method and you should be set! - a list of drivers can be found here:
