Hi,
Anyone have issues with burning the 10.1 powerpc CD releases? Or maybe
is there another boot sequence to use? This is for a mac G5
I verified the md5 for each iso, and can mount each iso by double
clicking on its icon.
I've used 2 optic drives and 11 CDRs trying various burn methods: disk
utility, hdiutil, dd, creating a dmg from iso first etc
and both iso's powerpc and powerpc64
Each time the burn seems too fast even though I chose the slowest 4x
(and 16x) and the result is 0 files, the write is usually verified
(unless I tried something crazy).
Usually the write session would close almost as soon as it opened.
The CD is usually bootable; but loader can't find kernel.
In each case, disk utility reports CD has a capacity of 3.2MB and 647Mb
used (700MB physical capacity) --slightly different numbers for powerpc
Booting CD gives a "kernel not found" error.
OK ls /
/
10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD
10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD
10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD

10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD
10_1_RELEASE_POWERPC64_CD
OK _
boot cd:,\boot\loader cd:0
returns with something about ootoader not found
boot cd:,/boot/loader cd:0

boot cd:,/boot/loader cd:3

ls /boot
no such file or directory
