At first it works only with Amiga OS 4.0 and only with the "illegal" Internet Copy.
But, if you want to try here any tips:

1.) They are two versions of the Torrent-File... The "bigger" ist the better one!
2.) You need the latest Mac Mini with 1,5 GHz. I have one and this works!
3.) If you want to install to HD you will loose the OSX and you must disable the
DVD
Best way to do this is to replace the DVD Drive with another one (CD or DVD).
You need a recovery eject! The original have no one!
4.) If you make new partitions and make it bootable, Mac can't boot it!
This because the OF only boot from HDS partition! But more later...
After boot from CD and after pressing last key eject the CD and you are
ready!
The system boot OS4!!! If not, you see KICKSTART with DISK picture!
COOOOL! - but your partition layout is wrong! next try!

If you want to lot without CD ... here are the solution:

5.) If You want start direct from HD - you will need second Harddisk!.
Buy a PATA (IDE) to HD Caddy... about 20 EUR

On the 1st disk install OSX an morhos (you will find many todo's)
Only on this way you can create the first partition, with have KICKSTART files on it and is readable from OF!

The boot works (for now) only by starting into OF and manual typing! But no DVD/CD is needed. I try to make an boot loader,

But : AMIGAOS has no Network or Audio. The USB ports not works (Only Mouse or Keyboard... But you can "Klick and Play" for 60EUR (i have payed for my Mac mini!).

I get 2 Days (8 Hours) to make this all (just Try&Error). For now no more time.

Next week i try to get any "Bootloader" an search for drivers .. but i think, without usb we will not get any success....

I don't know the Audio or USB Chipset from Mac mini...
