iBook 500 (dual USB) 64MB of RAM, CD ROM drive dead.
OF works fine, I can do a printenv at the prompt and the boot-device shows the correct default for new world machines as being, hd:,\\:txbi
It just won't boot. But in Target mode the disk mounts on my eMacs desktop and in fact I can boot up my eMac using the iBook's HD while the iBook is in Target mode.
Can anyone explain this? Since the CDROM drive is dead I can't use C to startup from a CD, but I have installed Panther, while the ibook was in Target mode, using my eMac and like I said it will boot my eMac right up but it will not boot itself.
I get a flashing question mark inside a folder

My internal CD ROM is dead on my ibook.
I have installed Panther using my emac's Panther CDs over firewire (eMac and iBook connected via firewire) while the ibook is in target mode.
It doesn't work.
Do I need retail Panther CDs or iBook CDs.
Please help.
Can you provide us with more details? What happens when "It doesn't work"?
What kind of iBook is this? Can you boot in OpenFirmware?
