All: I am having a problem re-installing Tiger on my 333 MHz iMac (tray loading).
I have the CD distribution of Tiger, which I used, several years back, when this machine was upgraded from OS 9 to OS X. Eventually, the system got to the point where it would no longer boot (don't ask why, it just wouldn't), so I backed up all the data, reformatted the HD (including making sure that it had a boot partition no larger than 7 GB), re-installed OS 9.2.2, zapped the PRAM, etc. Problem occurs when I try to intall Tiger. I have XPostFacto installed, I launch it, choose the OS X Install CD 1 to boot from and reboot. The system boots from the CD just fine. I click thru the various windows, including the one which tells me that I will need all 4 CDs for the install I have chosen. Here's where things go horribly wrong - it begins the install process (remember, the installer told me that I need all 4 CDs), but never gets to the point where it asks for disks 2-4! It simply goes thru the install process on disk 1, then says "Installation complete" and reboots. Needless to say, the install fails. Anyone have any clues as to what is going wrong here? As I noted, I have successfully used this CD set to install Tiger in the past.
