Thanks razorback, I went ahead and continued with the cIOS installs. Your post was what I needed, I didn't know if the "error" messages that popped up before my missing stub cIOS would cause problems further into the hacking.
I have a virgin 4.2U LU50 Wii. I am following the Noob Starter Guide by nabster92 and I'm stuck between the Trucha Bug Restorer and cIOSInstaller part.
I have done the following...
completed BannerBomb
completed Hackmii Installer
installed the HBC
installed the bootmii
ran the nand backup...
