    Just tried doing this, couldn't get it to boot into the Mac installer after days of trying. The only thing left I could think of was that the NUC's newest BIOS makes it incompatible (similar issues on forums had suggested BIOS upgrades/downgrades), so I tried to downgrade the BIOS and ended up bricking the whole system. :( Even worse is that clearing the CMOS, removing the battery, etc., nothing will even get to the BIOS or the BIOS recovery menu. When I press the power button, the blue light turns on and immediately off.

    1 - DO NOT use Unibeast/Multibeast. Do a vanilla install. You are much better off in the long run.
    2 - You do not need a Mac to create the install media. You can easily find instructions to make the installer using Windows.
    The install issues they had are almost certainly due to using the *beast method.
