New to this list, thanks. So I inherited an a dual 450. It seems to be running 10.3.6 stably, including classic.
So I wanted to boot OS 9 directly, select startup disk, reboot begets grey screen with pointer. insert install disk that came with computer OS 9.0.4 reboot holding C begets grey screen with pointer. reboot holding option shows disk with mac os 9 badge, but hangs. reboot with holding X starts from 10.3.6 from disk without issue. Boots OS X install disk without issue. This is consistent. I have reset the Pram. I have reset the nvram from open firmware. I have reset the cuda switch. I have disconnect the hard drive, then tried to boot from OS 9 CD, to no avail. I have not pulled the PRAM battery. System profiler reports boot-rom 3.3.something. If this is a firmware issue, how do I upgrade the firmware?
