OSX, in any variation, will not instal on a S900 without a "hack",
available via OWC as XPostFacto. What you have done is messed up the
NVRAM(the onboard memory used at startup). You've done all the right
things so far. You'll have to restart from the OS9.1CD to restore the
NVRAM info. If you are using the original S900 Hard Drive and CD you'll
have to reinstal the drivers used for OS9.1 Once you get OS9.1 running
again surf over to OWC, under OSX and read up on XPF. If you feel you
need more help, there is a $10? per year service available to talk you
through it. There is also lots in the SM archive Oh yes, you'll need a
G3 or G4 upgrade plus a good amount of memory to even load Jaguar or
Panther. Paul C

Ok.. here's a cry for help.. I have a s900 and it was running OS 9.1, I
tried to boot OS X 10.0 from cd last night and and it started to boot and
the video has now disappeared.. I have an ATI Rage II and an IX 128
videocards in the system and I get no video at all.. I have pressed the CUDA
button and reset the PRAM ( both many times ) and still nothing.. I removed
the battery and unpluged the maching and still no luck..
I have tested the monitor and it still works fine (under windows of course )
I at this point have removed the battery ( it will be 10 hours by the time I
get home ) removed all pci cards etc..
Any ideas as what happened or where to go from here??
Thanks
Kevin
I think this constitues a cry for help..

What, no plaintive cry for help for over a week. Let that happen on a

I apologize for this non-content test e-mail. But I've received
nothing from the list in about a week. I just wanted to see if I can
still send and receive.
