As scasady describes his kernel panic as
under stress: here's a hunch, based on experiences with Mountain Lion. If we're lucky the hunch will translate to Snow Leopard.
Run Windows 7 in a VirtualBoxVM with that guest limited 1 to GB memory, store the .vdi on ZEVO on external USB. In the VM, download
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) then begin installing. Have VirtualBoxVM in background but not hidden whilst you do things with any other app in front. Take as long as you like. Just work normally. If you have a choice of discrete or integrated GPU, maybe prefer discrete.
Depending on your physical machine configuration: the virtual machine may take a considerable time attempting the installation; and the physical machine may panic (hopefully with
zio_notify_parent) before installation succeeds.
Don, on Wuala I don't have enough room for the .vdi that I'd use for this type of thing, but if you like I can arrange a copy some other way.
