I burned your ppc boot images onto a cd (cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 speed=8 -vv -tao haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso haiku-ppc.image) and tried booting the system through standard methods without success on my G4 system. (hold c, hold option and select the cd (no cd exists)) I looked at the bootinfo file and saw haiku doing a "boot cd:,\ppc\boot_loader_openfirmware" I cracked openfirmware open and ran that command, low and behold the haiku bootloader came up after about 30 seconds! Screenshots (via camera) attached. The Haiku bootloader did not see the Haiku filesystem burned on the CD, but at least it's something :) Maybe I will have better chances dd'ing the haiku image to a usb stick? --Alex -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
