•Have you tried throwing a “networksetup -detectnewhardware” as part of a self-removing first boot script? What have you tried so far?

I am a pretty light user, I haven’t tried much because I wasn’t sure what to do about it.

•also try booting in single user mode to check logs on a machine that loops like that. there’s most likely detail in the logs that will help you.

Which logs should I be checking?

Sounds promising! Thanks

This worked swimmingly. Thanks a million for your help!

That makes perfect sense. Thank you for your help.

I am trying it again on a Intel machine with 10.6 with that newer version. I’ll let you know how it goes.
