Intel-based Mac: Startup issues after using unsupported version of Windows installer

An Intel-based Mac may not be able to start up after attempting to install an unsupported version of Microsoft Windows XP via Boot Camp. In this situation, your Intel-based Mac may not be able to start from Mac OS X even if you hold the Option key during startup, and the hard disk may not be accessible in FireWire Target Disk Mode.

SND_ICH(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						SND_ICH(4)

NAME

     snd_ich -- Intel ICH AC'97 and compatible bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device sound
	   device snd_ich

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   snd_ich_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The snd_ich bridge driver allows the generic audio driver sound(4) to attach to Intel ICH AC'97 and compatible audio devices.

     Some later chips, like ICH6/ICH7, depending on wiring can instead implement newer Intel HD Audio specification, which is supported by
     snd_hda(4) driver.

HARDWARE

     The snd_ich driver supports the following audio devices:

     o	 AMD 768
     o	 AMD 8111
     o	 Intel 443MX
     o	 Intel ICH
     o	 Intel ICH revision 1
     o	 Intel ICH2
     o	 Intel ICH3
     o	 Intel ICH4
     o	 Intel ICH5
