i think it may be because i have to install from an os x environment?

after days of searching i ended up finding the answer. I needed iomega 4.2 driver and zips formatted with that driver to boot.

Yea it shows up and i can select it too. When i reboot, i see the activity LED flash on the zip drive for a short time, and before Mac OS 7 loads, it shows a floppy disk image as if its looking for a floppy (at this time no activity is occuring on the zip disk). I just tried using iomega 4.2...

I dont have the computers networked in such a way. I tried making a new zip disk and copied the entire system folder over. Still wouldnt boot. Perhaps its the driver. Maybe the 2.xx doesnt support booting, or it loads after the system is booted.

NetBSD could be tough yea, but im an IT major and i look at this sort of stuff as an oppurtunity to learn. Gentoo is all command line installation and takes about 5 days to install. I figure if i could do that, i can do anything. Just gotta use my resources available to me.

Oh that certainly explains it. I will ask my friend if he can send a .cdr if i cant get this one working. He sent me another version of the same image but this time in .toast format. I'm not even gonna attempt to burn it unless i know it can be done. Can .toast be burned on a pc? and if so, will...

if i cant get os x on here im thinking about using netbsd. I hope it doesnt crash like gentoo and debian did. Macs.. I sure can pickem.

I've done it this time. My imac needs help! My friend sent me a dmg image of a rescue disc but i have no burner on my imac. I only have a burner on my PCs. He made the image using disc utility in OS X. The cds i burnt in both Transmac and Nero(renamed .dmg to .iso) couldnt be booted from! My...

I have a powerbook 5300cs that i use zip disks with and i just got a zip drive for my imac. 2 things happened. I reinstalled my powerbook OS 7.5.2 and downloaded iomega tools 2.xx. The other thing i did was share files between the imac and powerbook. The imac runs OS 9.2.2 and uses the iomega...

Wow, Thanks for the wealth of information guys! Yea i saw on the tiger website that old imacs arent shown as supported, i thought this was because they all shipped with small amounts of ram and HDD and apple was trying to make it easy for the non technical user. I suppose that tiger's...

I got this error message when double clicking the "Install Mac OS X" icon in the root of the cd. I just upgraded so i can run OS X. My face looks exactly like the emoticon for this thread. I have an imac 233mhz rev.A Tray loading with 512mb RAM and 13gb HDD (4.6gb partition for OS, 8gb...
