Booting from a CD other then the OSX cd for installing doesn't
currently work on OLD World Machines as far as I can tell YMMV. Ryan(Mr
XPFacto) is looking into the issue and hopes to include this as a
feature of a future version of XPFacto. I was able to make a CD using
boot cd it screwed up the NVRAM the worst I've seen it.It wasn't the
making of the cd that did it but the trying to boot from it. I didn't
think I was going to be able to get my machine to work again... I am
going to try another thing or two with boot cd when i've the time for
trouble shooting. Then if that doesn't work I will wait for Ryan's fix.
I can see the disk utilities when booted up with the cd but when I
choose it nothing happens. Have you been able to get it to open?I had
tried this when trouble shooting a major install problem with a new
hard drive. I was lucky enough to find a Seagate 40gb IDE 7200 rpm at
my local Fries for $69.00! Problem turned out to be a bad cheap ram
stick which had worked with the old setup. later Will S
