Re: not booting

Correct me if I'm wrong here, Stew -

but you might try going into Open Firmware (start the computer, listen for the boing, hit option-command-O-F simultaneously) and type devalias to see what 'cd' is aliased to - write back on what it is.  We may be able to detect something wrong.

That's a new one.  We've had others with those machines that would get a
kernel panic at boot, but I don't think I've seen anyone with the probelm
as you describe it.  Is is possible that the burn was bad in some way?

There should be new ISO's coming out pretty soon, with a new kernel and
boot setup, which may solve your issues.

What kind of machine?  Is the CD drive IDE or SCSI?  It may be that

the

Open Firmware device is not "cd" on your machine.
