Have you tried resetting the PRAM? Resetting the Wallstreet itself? I can't imagine that you can't boot in 9. Have you been able before to boot from the same OS 9 install CD you're trying? Maybe something is corrupted in your OS 9 partition, on your hard drive, so that might explain why it does the little flashing after starting. But you should be able to boot from an OS 9 CD, this part I don't understand... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cargo cult programming n.: A style of (incompetent) programming dominated by ritual inclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose.
