Netbook Install 0.8.3 Rc4
Well, here's my first attempt at an installation guide for those who have the Asus EEE 1005HAB netbook. Read this first before trying anything. This project first started out as a big 'I told you so' to members of my family. You see, I'm a PC guy, always have been and always will be, but my family ALL use Macs. They really buy into all the propaganda that Apple puts out there. I think Apple makes awesome computers, but the cost of it is staggering. Normally I would just use the factory installed XP sp3, but the ease of using OSX Snow Leopard on a netbook is better.
I have a Netbook with Snow Leopard Everything is running well except WIFI. My broadcom bcm94322mc is showing up as AirPort but I cannot get it to turn on. It looks great in system profiler but I cannot get it to turn on. Attempting to instal a 10.6.0 retail disk using both NBI 0.8.3. And 0.8.4 resulted in the kernel panic.

When I started looking into installation methods, I quickly found out how many of them are out there. I also found that there are many variations to each method depending on which PC you are putting it on. When I finally settled in on which one to use, well, it didn't work. When it was all said and done, I tried about 5 different methods, and none worked the way I wanted it to. At this point, I figured that I needed to 'Frankenstein' these install guides into one that would work on the Asus EEE 1005HAB.
There were many guides for similar Asus netbooks, but none for this one exactly. It's kind of a lot of work, but everything works on my netbook with the exception of the ethernet port. Here's what worked for me. Note: This guide contains a section where you disassemble part of your netbook to swap out parts. If you are not comfortable doing this or not familiar, STOP here.
