| Can't reinstall Jaguar I recently got it in my head that I could install Debian onto my older mac ibook dual usb. So I installed debian but decided that I wanted to go back to Jaguar as it was a better system for my needs. So I pulled out my Jaguar cds and can't seem to get it to install again. I have open firmware version 4.2.0f4 and it just wont boot from cdrom when I have the disks in. The laptop I believe only has a cdrom I havent played with it in a while so I am not positive. Is my cd bad? Is my openfirmware messed up after installing debian? Whats going on?  |

| What happens when you try to install Jaguar? Does your iBook fail to boot at all? Or, do you get an error message during the install process (like - this software cannot be installed on this system - (or something similar to that)) Are you using a commercial installer set (black disks), or a grey set that came with another Mac?

| If you installed Debian, then a bootloader was probably also installed into Open Firmware. Try resetting the PRAM on your iBook by following these instructions: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238 Then, reset NVRAM by booting into Open Firmware and doing this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42642 Afterward, try to boot from the Jaguar CD again by inserting it and restarting your Mac and holding the 'c' key as it boots.
