Same thing happened with me while trying to install via my internal Pioneer 32x CDROM drive. (I'd gotten rid of the original Matsushita) I was thinking I was SOL but decided to try my old external Yamaha CDR400 scsi burner, it was all I had. Worked like a charm. Follow Will's advice on the black screen of death. There's a lot of voodoo involved in OS X installs on legacy machines. Like, my Pioneer CD drive, it's bootable and light years better than the original Matsushita. Yet I had to use an old 4x8 scsi CDr to successfully install OS X. My original Matsushita probably would have worked too. You're going to have to find another CD drive, internal or external, for your next attempt I think. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
