I tried Alex's tracks on a PPC Mac Mini (the 1.42GHz
version) unsuccessfully.
I made a CD with the iso-track, another CD with both
tracks, and also wrote the haiku image to a USB stick
as suggested. On boot I pressed C and D on the USB-
connected keyboard. (Not knowing if bluetooth works
that early.) I think I could hear it trying to boot
off the CD, but I'm not certain. Shortly thereafter
it would boot OSX without any sign of Haiku on screen.
(FWIW, selecting the CD as a startup disk in MacOS X
preferences "Startup Disk" was not possible. Not sure
if MacOS X would list any bootable CD, but it does
list its own Install disk if you have it in the drive.)
/Jonas.
