[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 886959, member: 36483"] You shouldn't need to do a firmware update on that machine, it should install without any issues. The reason you can't boot to OS 9 is because that machine is too new to boot to a classic OS and can only boot to OS X. Just put in your 10.4 disk and install, there is no need to update anything else. Only much earlier Macs that did not come with OS X installed need firmware updates. [/QUOTE]
