From: "Bill Vader" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>You put it a known-good HD (with a bootable system? you don't specify) and it still won't boot from any device?
Then I got serious. First I replaced the CD-ROM drive, because the owner
said she had had some problems with it lately. That didn't help at all. So,
then I replaced the hard drive with a known good used drive that I had
initialized and zeroed with OSX's disk utility. Of course this didn't work
and all I got was a flashing question mark. The computer still won't
recognize any CD or Zip as bootable. When I was in open firmware I ran
devalias and it sees the hard drive and CD-ROM. Can anyone think of anything
else I can try? I appreciate all of your help.
Hmmm. Bad RAM?
