| G3 Can't boot from CD I'm at my wits end. I got a G3 off ebay and Tiger 10.4 I put in CD and hold down 'C' to boot from CD and it does nothing. can't read the CD I tried a set of 10.3 CDs and they do the same thing I tried Debian for PowerPC and it detects and installs perfectly. When I go to open firmware and type "boot cdrom" i get the message: can't OPEN: cd:,\\:tbxi No matter what I try for CD combinations I get that message. I don't know what to try now. The media is fine and installs other systems fine.  |

| 10.4 comes as DVD. Might be part of the 'problem'. Also read the requirements for 10.4. Maybe that G3 comes without FireWire ports?

| I know it comes as a DVD. I tried it that way. I have a DVD capable drive that came with the G3. I have tried both DVD and CD versions. It has 2 built in firewire ports on the back. |
