I have a 1012 and have tried several times to install Snow Leopard using jedparkes' instructions on page 18 of this thread.
I've installed SL from a USB stick and when I try to restart, it stops at a message that says "You need to restart your computer....."
I followed jedparkes' instructions to press F8 during booth, then entering arch=i386.
When I hit enter, it agains stops at the message that says "You need to restart your computer..."
I've searched through the remainder of this thread but cannot find any hint of what to do to get through this roadblock.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
