I just picked up a B&W 350 rev 1. I wiped the HD, installed 8.5.1 (IIRC) from a CD that was made for B&Ws. Ran fine, tested some ram in it and everything was OK on Saturday. Tried to boot up today and I got the startup chime and the HD spun up, but that was all, no video out etc. Put in a pram battery that was good about a month ago from a beige G3 and the same thing happened.
Left the Mac plugged in for an hour or 2 and tried to restart and it booted into open firmware. Typed mac-boot as instructed and got the following error message:
/pci80000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@0:5,\\:tbxi
I tried starting up from the install cd by holding the c key, and it still boots to open firmware.
Anyone have any idea what could be the cause of the above error message and how to fix it?
Try resetting the PRAM settings (Command-Option-P-R at boot time) and see if that changes anything. It sounds like the PRAM may be corrupt (it happens occasionally on PCI and later machines when the PRAM battery starts to flake out) and O/F is confused.
