In other words it will show OS X or OS 9 for a disk but not both, just the OS that is currently selected in Startup Disk. -- -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iBook G3 500 White: New owner and a few questions
Can you reinstall the system? If so, place the system CD in the cd tray and hold the c key while you start up. It works on older Macs, but you would have to do a clean install of a new system. I think that the cd rom will work if you hold down the c key while booting. Maybe someone could enlighten us as to whether that will work on a G3 OSX. With it's cdrom not working, I am unable to startup from cd. Dan in AZ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I just bought a white iBook G3 500 and it works fine, it booted into 9 and then without thinking I booted into X and oops, it needs a password. With it's cdrom not working, I am unable to startup from cd. Is there a way to get the ibook to boot back to os9? and when I do, can I install panther over ethernet? Only if you have access to an OS X Server that is set up to do it. If you have another Mac with Firewire you could use a Firewire cable and target disk mode on one of the machines to boot it. Connect the machines (both shutdown) with a firewire cable. Put the panther disk in the optical drive of the other machine, turn it on and hold down the T key. This puts it in Target Disk mode, making it's drives appear as firewire drives. Now start the iBook and hold down the option key. This will bring up a selection of drives to boot from. The Panther disk from the other machine should appear, click on it and then click on the Right Arrow on screen. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Maybe someone could enlighten us as to whether that will work on a G3 OSX. Yes, it works just the same way as it did before, though I agree that the next statement is mercurial. Dan, does the CD-ROM drive not work at all? Though I've never done it, I do know that some recent Macs can boot off Fire wire. With it's cdrom not working, I am unable to startup from cd.
