I tried reinstalling OSX to downgrade to 10.6.2 (to resolve sound and bluetooth issues). I let the install run for a few hours and came back to my computer to see that it was frozen and I had the colorful spinning wheel on screen for about 20 minutes with nothing happening before I just shut it off and turned it back. Now upon booting it reads, "Unable to patch 64bit kernel. Please use arch=i385 to use a 10.6.2 or newer kernel. Can't find mac_kernal"
I can't boot to the hard drive or to my OSX Install flash.

Any help? Thanks!

So my solution was to run NBM 0.8.4RC1 on my bootable flash drive again on my iMac and then return to BIOS settings to make sure USB Legacy Support was Enabled and to place USB Storage as my first boot. Booted to 10.6 over 10.6.3 (without losing any info or settings), updated to 10.6.2 via combo update on Apple's website, installed updates (EXCLUDING Mac OS X Update for 10.6.3) and now I'm running on 10.6.2 with Sound and Bluetooth working perfectly every time.
