How to get Proxmox 3.2 to run on a mac mini 6,1

[Alectronic]

Hi,
I have been asked to try and get Proxmox / any virtulization OS to run on a Mac Mini 6.1 I have tried using both 3.1 & 3.2 but neither one works It either hangs (Black screen of nothingness) or brings me to a Linux command line and all I can really do is run a script called insialise.sh (which fail to work). I also need to run the following commands at boot to even get there:
"debug vga=normal noapic"


The mac spec are as following:

it's better if you try to boot it with a linux live cd and use that suggested command...

in that case the normal process may be to install a regular debian on your mac, wich is easy, then setup proxmox.
comme back here with the debian installed.
