I tried installing Tiger on a Beige (yes it's beige) PowerMac G3. After the install failed, and I got a pile of error messages on the screen, I realised it wasn't worth the effort and now want to install Jaguar on it again.
I tried wiping the hard drive (from another machine, in an external enclosure) but the thing still won't startup. Holding down the C key gets me the happy mac icon, then it restarts. Then it loops restarting endlessly. I tried reseting nvram (reset-nvram) and restarting with Cmd Opt P-R. but I get the same results. Anyone know how to make this Mac startup from a CDROM so I can install Jaguar? ~Nick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
