There's a giant difference between "not officially supported" and "a cryptography chip locks you out".

I guess you should take a look at what installing a hackintosh system entails. It starts with flashing your BIOS and it doesn't get any better afterwards.
You're either running a massively unsupported configuration (even for hackintosh standards) or just plain trolling. I'm posting this from a hackintosh I triboot with Windows and Debian. The difficulty involved reading a HCL when I built the system 3 years ago. The installation involved burning a disc and booting from it.
Nope. You burn the disk and install OSX as normal. Depending on the hardware you might need to download a few kext (Kernal Extensions AKA "drivers") Comparable to installing Linux or Windows.

Not true at all. Maybe if you're using old or unsupported hardware.

At most you'll need to set your BIOS to Optimized Defaults.

There is a certain working around the official seals involved. Google DSMOS.
