how does one boot up from a cd-rom drive on a mac g3?
lymber1 asked:
i know i need to upgrade the machine, but until i do i can’t get the mac to boot up from the cd-rom even when there is a bootable disk..
i have tried holdin down the “c” key but that did not owrk then i tried a couple of times “ctrl-option-shift-delete”
but that did not worked either… i even swapped the cd drive with a known working aopple cd rom drive……just for those who are curious i am installing xubuntu 6.10 or ubuntu for mac 6.06
i know that these os work on a mac cauase i have done it before but i for some reason cannot get this one to work…. it only wants to boot to the harddrive.
03.28.08I need help getting Xubuntu to install?
pred33@sbcglobal.net asked:
I have an old Dell GX1 which I am trying to install Xubuntu on. I used to have xp installed on the secondary hard drive. I removed what was the primary drive and moved the secondary (with xp on it) to the primary slot and put a new (to me) drive in the primary slot. Then I downloaded the Xubuntu iso on another computer and burned the ISO to a cd. I turned the computer on and set the boot sequence to CD-ROM first, inserted the disk and rebooted. It took longer than usual with a black screen and the a message a something called a PXE popped up and just sat there.
Also the secondary hard drive (the new/used one) dosen’t register on the BIOS settings screen.
What am I doing wrong?
