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.

I have a D620 with Intel 945GM video. I followed Method 1 from the tutorial here to install Mac OS X which completed with no issues.
After the installation, I was prompted to reboot. I rebooted, but now I cannot get to the Mac OS X installation on the hdd. I boot to the USB key I used to install and then select the hdd, but I get a gray window that tells me I must restart. This loop never ends no matter how many times I reboot.
I was able to boot to the hdd using the -x switch at the Chameleon screen, but that is the only way I seem to be able to boot to the hdd.
Thanks in advance!
