You need to install and use Apple's Boot Camp to make CentOS work on a
Mac Mini. It will install a utility on the drive that will make the Mini
look like an ordinary system instead of the Apple based hardware
including standard drivers for the Cd/DVD and hard drives and network
and sound support. I have an old single core Mac Mini running CentOS 5
32 bit just fine.
One problem though is that I believe that Snow Leopard Server version
does NOT come with Boot Camp. If so you'll need to get a version of Snow
Leopard that does have Boot Camp available. I think the Standard version
of Snow Leopard is about $30.00 from Apple.
If you need help I can be available via Skype to answer your questions.
