[QUOTE="alleycat009, post: 87369"] The OS 8 cd is a factory CD, that came with the iMac, and says right on it, "Hold C during bootup to boot from this CD." I'm pretty sure it's bootable, but I don't understand why it won't... Is there a specific boot path that I can type from Open Firmware to activate the boot sequence for this CD? It's the iMac Recovery CD for the G3 400mhz model... And, I didn't add any partitions, I just wiped it clean, one big blank empty space. Just like factory for a brand new hard drive pretty much.
