Gizomdo has a posted a guide to turn your Dell Mini 9 into the ultimate Mac OS X machine via the "Type11" install, which uses a $129 factory-fresh retail OS X install disk in tandem with a special bootloader that does the necessary tweaking.
What You'll Need
• Dell Mini 9 With 16GB SSD or higher (8GB SSDs will techincally work, but it will take some fiddling not covered by in the tutorial)
• Retail copy of OS X 10.5.x
• A USB flash drive 8GB or higher
• An external USB DVD drive
• The "Type11" Bootloader: DellMiniBoot123v8.01.iso.zip (download link in this forum post)
• Blank CD to burn bootloader image (I actually used version 8.0 of Type11 on my CD-if your boot process with 8.01 is different than what's spelled out in this guide, you can download 8.0 here. Both should work.)
• Windows PC for preparing the flash drive (if DVD drive works fine, this is optional)
If you have all of the above, just follow the instructions here.
