Hey,

I've got a dell mini 10v and have been following a guide to install snow leopard, i boot into the usb and the grey background comes up followed by the apple logo (ready to start the installation), but then i get a message:

"You need to restart your computer".

Now on windows I could hit ctrl + alt + del, but as its in the apple installation that doesnt work, and I cant see a reset button anywhere on the dell, all I can do is power off and then back on, but I get the same message then.

Any ideas?!?!

That happened to me when I tried to install with previous version of Bootmaker with BIOS A06. I cleared it up by going to A04. Or you may want to use latest Bootmaker

I downgraded to A04 and same problem I've given up now , Windows 7 is on it

I had the same "Restart Your Computer" message, creating the image and then putting it onto the USB stick with Transmac worked for me.
