What Netbook: Dell 10v

NetBoookBootMaker 0.8.4 RCL

After I did all a normal install using the mechdrew guideline, I used 
NetBookBootInstaller 0.8.4 post installation, and most things worked fine 
except for the sleep/wake issue which I fixed by resetting the Administrator 
password and applying the "sudo" changes.  At this point everything worked fine!

Then I tried to do the update to 10.6.8 which seemed to go okay.  When the 
update was finished, the system did a reboot/restart and while it was trying to 
reboot, instead of the Apple logo on the screen, there was an image of the Dell 
10v and the twirler just kept going and going.  So, I powered down to force a 
reboot and when it came up again, I got the reboot cycle described above.

Has Apple finally figured out what we are doing with the NetBooks and built in 
a fix to block us from doing it?

Err. No. NetbookInstaller always runs after a reboot from an OS X update. You 
force shut down your laptop while NetbookInstaller was running...

I'm getting the same endless boot cycle of NetbookInstaller at boot time... was 
attempting to fix the sound issues with 10.6.8 on my mini9, now cannot get 
back, tried different chameleon versions, stuck with the mach-0 bad magic 
number issue now if try to boot from hdd; if boot from usb stick with NBI 0.8.4 
RC1, can get into hdd, but only if I boot using recovery=yes, which doesn't 
have any hardware support running, so no ethernet, wifi, etc.

What triggers the NBI run at boot time? My guess is some flag is not being 
cleared properly.
