G'day again Mark Actually, I was a bit rushed and left something out
When the installer is first run, it burns it's own CD address into Pram, and re-boots so it can run the basic unix (I think it's unix) from itself, and the installer. Once disk one is finished, it asks for disk two if required. If two is not required, or either one is finished, either one then burns (used to be termed 'stamped' many, many moons ago) Jaguar as the Startup System destination. If this does not take place, the CD is forever stamped into Pram, and simply hangs with the grey screen. You may be able to bypass this with the Option-boot, then re-stamp Pram with the System Disk control Panel. The Startup disk panel cannot burn the Pram, that's it's problem. If you really, really don't want to Zap, then crack the case, remove just the CD ribbon, and re-boot. You get some tiny writing on the screen, but eventually the system says 'Stuff this' and finds 9.2.x. It may be necessary to use the interrupt button on the front of the case once, & re-boot, but give it time. Once in 9, use System Disk to stamp the Pram with 9.2.x, & replace the ribbon. (Always with power off, & plug pulled of course) Regards Santa And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all? And it is this......
