I'm not entirely sure how to respond to messages in
digest mode... But mebbe this'll work.
I have the exact same PTP configuration you
described, and I've learned a few sad lessons
regarding Panther installations:
If you're getting the shabbily rendered Panther
installation screen during the install, then your
video card isn't supported - Setting the XPesto
preferences to set up an argument between the Panther
installer and your video card is an argument your
video card isn't going to win, btw. It's been my
experience that a Radeon 7000 video card is a minimum
requirement for a Panther installation.
Jaguar 10.1 or 10.2 will install just fine with a
Rage Pro card, though.
I also had problems with the ATA card and UW SCSI
cards hanging at the Panther registration screen.
I got around all of this by pulling the ATA and UW
SCSI cards from the 'puter and then installed Panther
onto a SCSI HD using the onboard SCSI bus and
completed the registration.
I then put the ATA and UW SCSI cards and drives back
into the 'puter and used Retrospect to duplicate the
Panther installation onto one of the 160 gb ATA
drives.
Believe me, it's every bit the pain in the butt it
sounds like, and there were probably easier ways I
could have done this, but it worked. =>
Also, using the option key at start-up, as someone
else suggested, is how you get the 'puter to boot back
into OS 9 after a failed Panther/Jaguar installation
or start-up.
