Just discovered this on the Applelinks site: <snip>
Some older CD-ROM devices do not work with Mac OS X. The symptom that you will get in this case is the message "still waiting for root device" when booting in verbose mode (with command-v held down at startup). <snip> [by Applelinks Contributing Editor Charles W. Moore] Aha! This is precisely the message I got in verbose mode with XPF, before NVRAM problems prevented me from installing. So, one cannot install OSX from a Matshita CR-508. True or false? Has anyone done it successfully? Adrian O'Sullivan -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
