Is the CD-ROM terminated? For some reason, 5300's seem to be deep into SCSI voodoo. Mine (2 of them) won't mount the CD (Apple 300 external CD-ROM drive) unless it's terminated, or if there's an external (not even turned on) harddrive (another form of terminator, I guess) in the SCSI chain. With a valid OS on the HD, an unterminated CD-ROM drive will mount, but I get multiple images of the CD. Are you holding down the 'c' key to force it to boot from the CD? Is it a bootable CD? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
