The problem you've got is likely because you installed with a version of 9.2.2 with a "MAC OS ROM" file that's too early for the MDD. The MDD shipped with a "special" version of 9.2.2 and if the file "MAC OS ROM" within the System folder is too old, the result is it won't boot. You need v.9.5.1 or newer to boot. I believe the version in the 9.2.2 update from Apple is 8.7 which is too old to boot a MDD. If you search G3-5 List archives here: <http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list> for the terms "MDD" and "ROM" you should find several postings on this subject that are more detailed, perhaps with people to contact that could provide you with the needed file. I believe as soon as you substitute the file it will become bootable (if your MDD is one of the bootable models?). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
