Hmm... there is no root device field, but under options, I can specify the ramdisk, I choose the all.gz from the cd.
Do you know if 8.1 for the PPC is due out any time soon, maybe I won't have any install issues with a new verion. In the meantime I'm going to keep trying. I'm going to try now with a different graphics card. Would it help if I sent some sort of device configuration file from the mac? I'm not very familiar with the macintosh, and maybe knowing exactly what hardware is in this machine would help. -Paul Rodriguez > Most versions of BootX I'm familar with require you to specify the "root" > device.
