Re: Running a G4 Mac, off Open Firmware.

2008-11-16 Thread Mullin9



  Is it possible to run a G4 Mac, without an OS, or a working HDD, by
  using Open Firmware?
That depends on what you are willing to accept as 'running'.

 'Open Firmware'    IS a FORTH operating system.
 There are FORTH resources available on-line --- try GOOGLE

 To give yourself a tantalizing look at what may be possible, at the  
 OF prompt, enter    words (return)

Thank you for the info

Running a G4 Mac, off Open Firmware.

2008-11-15 Thread Mullin9

Is it possible to run a G4 Mac, without an OS, or a working HDD, by
using Open Firmware?
I did a few things
open cd open the CD tray.
macboot boots up the Mac.

can I use the Open Firmware as an OS, the way I used
text (command line) linux years ago.?

Thank You
