OK, I didn't realize it needed an ethernet connection when booting.  I got in, so that problem is solved. 
  
My next question though is how do I boot to the hdd without using the USB key?  I followed the steps listed in the first post of this thread but I think I did something wrong because once I replaced the Extra directory and rebooted, I was back to getting the gray message that said I need to restart over and over again. 
  
I have started over and reinstalled the OS.  I am now back to the point that I want to configure to boot without the need for USB key. 
  
Do you guys have any idea what I did wrong? 
  
Steps I followed: 
3)After installation, when you will see your desktop, download and install thisbootloader http://forum.osxlati...n-v20-rc5-r665/ 
4)After that, download and install this http://forum.osxlati...ate-5-released/ 
by following this guide: 
  
1. Download and copy over Extra.zip to / 
2. Rename or remove your old Extra (if it exists) folder 
3. Unzip Extra.zip to /Extra 
4. Open terminal and do: 
  
sudo su [enter] 
cd /Extra 
./edptool.command 
  
5. Choose to do a new build matching your model and then select Applemouse, Audio(Y),Lan(Y), powerpack(N)) 
6. Reboot 
  
I didn't know which option to select on the edptool because the D620 in the list is for Intel 950GM graphics, not the 945GM graphics that is in my D620.
