Woody install: Black Screen of Death (OldWorld Mac)
First, I want to thank everyone who's been helping me through this install. I
really appreciate it. :)
Now the black screen...I got all the way through the Woody installation,
selecting "Make Bootable" at the end. I tried to make a boot disk, but
evidently this isn't yet supported on PPC. I picked "Reboot" to finish things
up, the machine restarts, and...nothing. Just a black screen. CMD-Option-P-
R? Nothing. CMD-Option-O-F? Nada. Same with trying to boot from the
installation boot floppy, the Rescue disk, and from the MacOS 8 CD. (This is
on a Performa 6400/180, which is listed as a supported platform. I used
floppies for the initial install and setup, and have the basedebs.tgz file on a
CD.)
Is there anything I can do at this point besides opening up the case and
twiddling the bits with my tongue?
Thanks again.
Mike
