Thanks, I had a feeling that might of had something to do with it. I was able to get it to boot, but in an indirect manor. After booting from an old PCMCIA external HD (8.6 on it) I was able to install the cdrom drivers and set startup disk to boot from it. Sometimes that worked and other times it didn't. Now that I installed the OS, however, it's not a big deal to boot. This is my first PB 2400 and it's hard not having the drives build-in. -- /\/ () /-\ |-| \/\/ () () |) PowerBook G3 333MHz iMac G5 1.9GHz Custom PC, AMD 2.2GHz Boxbe: MW9518BM _______________________________________________ DuoList mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/duolist
