Apparently the sh-2.05a# is a prompt!? I can type 'help' and other *nix commands. When I type help it says: "GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(1)-release (powerpc-apple-darwin6.0) These commands are defined internally. Type 'help' to see this list. Type 'help name' to find out more about the function 'name' Use 'info bash' to find out more about the shell in general
[huge list of commands here]" I have some experience in terminal commands, but I'm not that proficient... -Dustin -----Original Message----- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Phillip Burk Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 1:26 PM To: G-Books Subject: Re: Problems booting to OS 9 On Tuesday, February 18, 2003, at 12:51 PM, Dustin wrote: > Thanks for all of the help.

If you're interested in troubleshooting this, set your startup disk to the OS X partition, reboot, and hold down the "v" key. You'll get a raw output of the startup sequence. There should be an error before unceremoniously dumping to the shell. Make note of where the startup is ending and post back to the list. Otherwise do an archive and install option and reinstall OS X. Phil Burk -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
