Hrm... By "older" PowerBook, you mean a "first generation" also called "3500" ? with 2.2.17pre20-ben1/2, you should have the initial console displayed too (a few more lines). Does it stop at "booting..." completely or does it go any further ? Which version of BootX are you using ? (Or are you using Quick ?) Ben.
