I tried to boot an LC475 that I am setting up for acustomer from an OS 8.0 CD. I held down the 'C' key as normal and it crashed to:
[Sad] [Mac] 0000000F 00000001
Odd I thought. It was supposed to work on all 040 Macs. I rebooted assuming the hard disk (with 7.6) would boot the machine as normal, but got the same Sad Mac again.
I decided to try Cmd-Opt-Shift-Del to skip booting the CD. This resulted in it booting normally into 8.0 FROM the CD.
What gives???
Maybe the C key only works with Macs with internal cd-roms? My mac IIci and IIfx only boot from cd-rom with the Cmd-Opt-Shift-Del combination. Maybe it is the same for the lc475. Don't know about that sad mac thing though.
