Just burned a CD of the Mandrake 8.0 PPC .iso to put on a 300mhz Powermac 8600 at work. I used the BootX app, extension and kernels from the CD's miscellaneous folder.
The install routine begins nicely, but when it asks where the install files are, it says it cannot find a CDROM and then gives me a whole long list (of ... drivers?) to try to use, with a subsequent window asking for parameters (I put /dev/cdrom there). I've tried the obvious entries from the list, like anything containing mac, mace or hfs but none works. Then I copied the CD onto an HFS drive. I tried to install off the drive and the installer said it couldn't find the hard drive, again giving me a long list of things to try. I did put /dev/sda5 in that parameter, the location of the HFS partition where the CD was copied. I have also checked force Scsi in BootX. Is there a way to proceed? -ms -- Many have Montana envy ... the lucky get to live here!
