I bought a brand new unused beautiful iMac 233mhz. Then I proceeded to update OS 9 to OS X Jaguar. But I did not update the firmware and that is where I got into trouble. After I reboot it goes to the white screen and has small type that says
"failed to boot
Apple iMac open firmware 3.0 f3"
I download what I thought was the firmware update but it says I need OS 9 to install it, but I did not put 9 back on the system so then I went in to install 9 off my cd and it won't continue the install because I don't have the proper Firmware on the Mac. What now? I can get it to reboot and work normally if I do the PRAM start holding down the option apple P and R at the start.
Anyway any help would be great!
