Greetings, all. Today I got my Gossamer tower and -- very excited -- ran home to install OS X Server v1.2 (Rhapsody) on it. Part of the install process sets the system to boot from CD, which I _can_ manually do with the 'C' key trick, but it doesn't work automatically.
What happens is I get a hung system with the checkerboard screen, mouse in the top left corner. Of course, this would be a normal part of the bootup, just before the Happy Mac, but it doesn't proceed and the mouse is unresponsive; it's like the system is locked up. From this point, I _can_ reboot from CD by holding the 'option' key, but not to the point that OS X Server is running to where it can install itself. (Interestingly, although the Blue Box environment on Rhapsody 1.2 is 8.5 (8.6?), the CD seems to boot into OS 9. Figure that out!) While I'm asking about the Gossamer, should it have come with a UW SCSI card? Or just the on-motherboard SCSI? Please help me get my new toy running! Thanks!
