Does not boot from installation disk |

I have PM7500, MAC os X install CD disk 10.0.4 and XPostFacto 2.2.5. When I run from XPostFacto from 9.1, I select to 'Start Mac Os X From' Mac Os X install CD and to 'Instal Mac Os X To' volume Levy 1 After selecting 'Install' it copies some files to Levy 1. Then Mac boots, it tries boot from istall CD, but does not boot from it, instead of it it boots from os 9.1 partition. Earlier I have succesed by modifing install CD (making image, copy some file to image, burn image to CD) by the way of Old World computing. My OsX boot partitio os too small, and I will now install os X to another partition, and also update it to Jaguar, but I don't know, what is the file, which I must copy to install CD (how to modify install CD).

cgbufe, I don't quite understand what you're saying. You say you get the "waiting for root message" which sounds like you are using XPostFacto correctly to boot from the OS X Install CD but then you say that XPostFacto tells you that the "Jaguar CD can be used only as an install disk for OSX" which sounds like you don't know what to do in XPostFacto. To install Jaguar, select the Install CD in the popup menu in the "Start Mac OS X From" part of the XPostFacto setup window. Then select the hard drive you want to install to in the popup menu in the "Install Mac OS X To" part of the window. Finally, click install. I don't know what you mean by "It requires a system CD on startup in order to mount". Mount what? What system CD? Starting up from CD or harddrive? Which OS is starting up? What do you mean by "I can boot from CD in OS9". An OS 9 CD? What does that have to do with XPostFacto giving you the "Jaguar CD can be used only as an install disk for OSX" message? You ask "Is there any way to get OSX to recognize my SCSI Yamaha CD-RW as a boot drive". I think you mean "How do I get the Yamaha to boot the OS X CD?" because XPostFacto recognizes it as a boot drive, and the "waiting for root" message occurs before OS X has even started. There's a few things you can try: - run XPostFacto while booted into Mac OS 9.1 instead of 9.2.2 - select the internal scsi drive in the "Install Mac OS X To" part of XPostFacto. When the install CD boots, you can choose to install OS X to a different drive (like the external one) than the one selected in XPostFacto but you should boot back to OS 9 after the installer is done (by holding the option key) so you can use the "Reinstall Extensions and BootX" options in XPostFacto and then start Mac OS X from the hard drive you installed to. - Set a high throttle setting in XPostFacto before clicking the Install button. - You might need to get another CD-ROM drive. Firewire booting will be added to the next version of XPostFacto. |

This seems the appropriate subject for this question, as it probably has nothing to do with the throttle. I am using a 9500 with a PowerLogix 500 Mhz G3 processor running at 425 Mhz. I get the "waiting for root" message when I try to install Jaguar. I had replaced the trashed CD reader in my 9500 with an internal Yamaha CRW6416S (CD-RW). It requires a system CD on startup in order to mount. After that it can read other CD's. I can boot from CD in OS9, but the 2.2.5 XPostFacto setup window says the Jaguar CD can be used only as an install disk for OSX, not as a boot disk. I get the same message when I try to install the OSX version 10.0.1 CD. I am starting ExPostFacto on my internal 1.4 GB SCSI drive (OS 9.2.2) and trying to install OSX on a freshly initialized 2 GB external SCSI drive. Is there any way to get OSX to recognize my SCSI Yamaha CD-RW as a boot drive? I haven't tried playing with the throttle. I also have a MacAlly USB/FW PCI card and a 60 GB OWC firewire drive that I would like to use as an OSX boot drive but can't. |

bob126, Jaguar doesn't work on anything less than a G3. You need a CPU upgrade or else you can only upgrade OS X to 10.1.5. |

According to the supported systems 10.2 should load? I had been trying to install from a 10.2 Jaguar Disc onto a Power Mac 8500/180 with no sucess. Getting only a black screen with a small white block in the upper left corner each time. It finally occurred to me to try installing from a different disc. The OS X (10.0) system and it finally started to load the system off the disc. Where did I go wrong? The OS X Jaguar disc did not have it printed on the disc, but perhaps it was an upgrade only disc?) But it would not laod for me. I did however have sucess, finally!, using the gray OS 10.0 disc. And I hope to upgrade from there. |

Hi Heikki.jamsa203, My advice is that use Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) for partition copy in OS X environment. Note that its min req is 10.1.2. And make sure you are using XPF compatible Mac/components. Marcus |

Again Searchability rears it's UGLY head |

Your problem may lay with the disk formatting software you used especially if you used HDT from FWB, your drive needs to be formatted with either Mac 9.1 Drive Setup or Hard Disk SpeedTools ( I think that is the name) I prefer the 9.1 Drive Setup. Again the need for Search-ability Rears it's Ugly Head. If you go back far enough you will find some real good discussions of this topic This has been covered multiple times in this forum. The formatting of the disk is a real foundation to a successful OSX build. And from the previous discussions your drive must be formatted with one of those 2 programs. |

Processor: I have Newermax card with 300 Mhz G3 processor 'Levy 1' is 4,5 G partition on 9 G disk. Disk is partitioned from 9.1 by program Hard Disk Toolkit This is on external SCSI connector. (I have 3 hard disks, third is on Adaptec, but os X does not have driver to Adaptec card.) |

Not enough information, Jamsa. What processor is in your 7500, how big are your drives and partitions, and how are they attached to the computer? Are you using the internal or external SCSI interfaces? Or an ATA card? |

I have earlier succesfully made OSX partition with Old World Support (long way). When I boot from OSX partition and select Install CD as boot disk, and restart, then it boots from install CD, but booting stops and gives text: Panic (cpu 0): Unable to find driver for this platform "AAPL,7500" Heikki Jamsa |
