I have a 15" PowerBook, Mac OS 10.3.6. I need to install an older version of OS X to get around a bug in 10.3.6, so I thought that I'd do an Archive & Install of 10.3.0. I insert the Install 1 CD of Panther, tell the Start Up control panel in system preferences to boot from the cd, and restart. I get the Drab Apple splash screen and then nothing. The splash screen just stays there. after about 5 minutes, I hold down the power button until the PB shuts down. I then power up again, holding down the trackpad button until the cd ejects. The PB then powers up normally. The Panther cd will boot up my G4 iMac with out a murmmer. Any suggestions as to why the PB won't boot up from the cd?
