Restart And hold the option key. This should bring up a list of  
available
drives. Select the HD and let it continue. Its looking for the last  
drive &
OS it started from last time it made a complete start.

Just caught the first line. 64 megs of ram isn't enough to boot into

Jaguar needs 128 megs and I think Panther needs 256 megs.

I say try it anyway. . .Mac OS X usually "changes" during boot-up.   
And
if it does boot on the iBook, but doesn't have the resources, then
simply download the newest update and see if that works.  Your iBook
doesn't work now anyway, so what do you have to lose?

AFAICT, in OS X, all components are installed. They might not be all  
active,
but they should be all there. For example, if the battery menu is not
installed, you would probably need to open it by double-clicking on it  
in
'/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras'.

Re: installing os9 over firewire.

still no joy

I booted to OpenFirmware and typed "printenv" at the prompt
and the boot-device shows the correct default for new world machines;

Anyone with an ibook, if you could please startup with command option O 
F and type printenv at the prompt it will give you the settings for 
your machine. Could you please report back with the variable next to 
boot device so I can confirm this.

So far I found these pages and am reading them. It looks like without 
original CDs for the ibook (not part of the purchase) nor a working

installing os9 over firewire.

[Alex Santos 100MB Neostrada Mail]

I would like to install os9 over firewire because the ibook's CD ROM 
player is dead.

I have an ibook 500 (which I am returning) but I would like to give it 
another chance as the price was so dandy!

I went out and bought a firewire cable and successfully mounted the 
ibook on the emac's desktop; however, after installing os 9, an 
original cd that came with the first version of OS, resulted in an 
ibook that won't start.

Do I need original ibook CDs?

replacement drive for dual usb ibook 500

[Alex Santos 100MB Neostrada Mail]

Does anyone know which drive, brand and model number apple used in the 
dual usb ibook g3?

It looks like my cd ROM drive bit the bullet and I want to replace it 
with a drive 100% compatible. I would also like a drive I can have the 
plastic silver plate put back on easily without any modification.

An Apple branded replacement drive is insanely expensive hence my 
search.

Re: Pismo freakout

Hi folks.
I'm on a Pismo 500, running OS X (10.3.4). The only non-stock stuff
I've got on it is another RAM stick (256), a Toshiba 60 Gig HD, and a
LG CD-RW/DVD drive in the expansion bay.
Something hinky is going on. Starting about a half hour ago, if I 
move
my laptop while it's running, it powers off, instantly. Black screen,
totally dead. It'll boot back up (sometimes I have to hit the power
button a few times) but everytime it does, the clock's been reset to
mid 1969. I figure something's come loose inside, but what? And what 
do
I do about it?

Maybe the processor daughtercard or the battery contact inside.

Just popped it open and reseated them both, but it's still happening. 
Snarf. This rots. Any other ideas?

Re: I need some ideas/help

[Alex Santos 100MB Neostrada Mail]

You may want to try opening Disk Utility in OSX and asking it to repair 
permissions in OS9. You can find the command in the File menu.
