I have had more than one person agree with me that it is tricky to get a Powerbook 2400 to boot from a CD-ROM. I have found the following to work reliably: Insert CD into drive Power off both CD and Powerbook Connect SCSI cable Power on CD ROM Drive Wait 10 seconds Power on the Powerbook Wait 2 seconds Hold Down C Key You will see a flashing ? for a few seconds Then the CD-ROM will start grinding Let go of C Key Good luck!
