Mike, Is it an original Umax disk? Mine says system software w/the umax logo etc.... If it is, then it contains the correct driver for the original cdrom ON THE CD. One way to check this is to boot from the zip with the cd in the drive (put in the tray before power-on) - If the cd mounts to the desktop, then the correct driver is present ON THE CD. Put the cd in the tray and power off the machine. Power-on while holding the c key. watch the activity light from the drive - it will flicker and then become steady as it loads the OS from disk. Alternate: after the first flicker of the drive led as the scsi bus is reset, hold down the c key as above. Alternate: hold down cmd-opt-shift-(scsi id # of cd drive) Alternate: connect serial console and boot into Open Firmware and tell machine to boot off of the correct device node. All of these depend on the correct driver being ON THE CD. If it is a copy, then it must have the driver descriptor map copied from the original intact. *note to FAQ people - this subject should be #1* HTH, tom -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
