help booting CD ROM ... over and over...and over again

[Sanders, Rob M.]

I think the issue with the resolution was fixed.  My dual g5 boots up=20
in 1600x1200@16bit under Panther (10.3.2) and I can install the lastest
ISO's without resetting the resolution.  I *did* have this problem with
one of the earlier ISO's, back in the November/December 2003 timeframe.

That actually happened to me on an iMac 333mhz... I have Panther. What=20
I did to fix that is first of all, switch OS X into 800x600  (not my=20
idea, didn't have to), shut the computer off (no reboot) and unplug=20
every device but the keyboard. Then, start it up and keep holding the c=20
key until the boot prompt screen appears, at what point you should plug=20
everything back in.
