Hello Starmaxers, 
 
I'm back on this list after a very long hiatus.  Hope all is well. 
 
I am trying to (finally) upgrade to O.S.9 on my Starmax 4400 with G3 
chip.  I have the original CD-rom drive (from 1997) and FWB's CD-Rom 
toolkit. 
 
My problem:  I cannot boot from the OS 9 CD.  I remember from a long time 
ago there's something special that I need to do in order to boot up from 
the CD because of Motorola's special hardware, but for the life of me I 
cannot remember. 
 
Could someone please save me hours more of trouble?  At the moment, when 
I try to boot from the CD by pressing down on the C key, the system 
freezes at the smiley mac (I never get as far as "welcome to macintosh").  
I have tried disabling the CD-rom Toolkit from the extensions manager and 
control panel but that doesn't help. 
 
Thanks much! 
 
Jillian
