I got ready to Install woody on my 4400, made some floppies, set my mac to boot from floppy. . . no go...it found the floppy, started to boot it, showed a little penguin on the screen, then stopped with a big red X over tux :(.
No big surprise that my first floppy didn't work, but now the trouble is...it won't boot from anything else! I expected that if it was set to boot from floppy, and no floppy was in the drive it would boot from HD, like it does with CD. Nopers....it just waits patiently for the floppy disk. Of course, it's not like there a MacOS system floppy for 8.1 laying around. I try to go to Open Firmware, and force it to boot from HD or CD, but when I press the magical 4 keys (c'mon, guys, four?) the video signal dies (at least thats usually what makes the monitor go to sleep like that.) I suppose it could be dropping to serial? What do I do now? -- Mack Allison Linux Support Services 256.428.6161 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
