I have a Graphite iMac SE DV, 500 mhz, OS 9.2.2 and also a Graphite iBook SE Firewire, OS 9.2.2. Below is copied from the System Profiler of the iMac:
Production information ROM revision: $77D.45F6 Boot ROM version: $0003.30f3 Mac OS ROM file version: 8.7 Serial number: RN035A4C-JVA-ff06 Software bundle: Not applicable Sales order number: Not applicable
Hi Stella,
I'm looking here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58174
to find info for the firmware version that your iMac needs. So, looks like you need version 4.1.9. In your original post you said:
OK, having assembled Disk Warrior, downloaded the Firmware update and as many application upgrades, etc. and burned the downloads to a CD, I was going to go for Jaguar this morning.
So, sounds like you have already downloaded this (?) firmware update version, right? Also sounds like you have burned the update to a CD. Are you trying to do the update by running off the CD?
I note that the Apple article referenced above says this: _____________________________________________________________
The iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 will only run on iMac computers with slot-loading CD, DVD or CD-RW drives running Mac OS 9.1 or later from a local drive. If you are using Mac OS X you must boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 or later writable partition (not a CD, or network disk) prior to following the update instructions.
_____________________________________________________________
So, firmware update cannot be run from a CD, right? Is it possible that this is the source of your problem?
The iBook's product information differs slightly in the Boot Rom version: $0003.33f3, and in the serial number/sales order number areas.
I'll take a look at iBook firmware info when I get a chance. I gather that you are getting the same error message when trying to do the update here, too, right?
