If you find a solution to this, let me know. I have a Rev A Bondi
that
does the same thing. All I have to do is type mac-boot and it
boots fine,
but for some reason it always goes to open firmware instead of
booting.
I'm pretty sure it reports the same error as you see.
Why didn't you use XPostFacto?
Panther will run on a 333 iMac- all be it slowly- my daughter had
it running on hers- big factor is amount of installed RAM, and HD
space/speed. We relpaced her HD with a larger, faster one, and
increased RAM to 384 MB, and it ran reasonably. I suspect more RAM
would be better, (512) but is that model worth adding $300.00+ in
RAM? (She now has an iBook 14" G4)
YMMV,
Pete
