yellowdog-newbie Digest, Vol 7, Issue 8

[Anoosh Hosseini]

I have seen this with G5's with either of the Apple CD drives.  I had burnt
the CD on a PC. One of my colleagues who make the CD off of a Mac had no 
problem.
If I use a generic cdrom player from my PC (yes open the Mac
and replace the cdrom) then all works well (boots from CD when holding down
the "C" key) . Have not figured out why.
