From Ethan's site (http://penguinppc.org/usr/yaboot/), "yaboot is an OpenFirmware based bootloader for newworld machines." You don't have any other option for booting into Linux if you're using one of the NewWorld Macs (i.e., any colored Mac) with MacOS 9.0.4 or higher. BootX, another bootloader from BenH, used to boot those machines, but changes made to the MacOS in 9.0.4 (and possibly the earlier 9.0.x series) broke it completely. It worked in MacOS 9.

You have to press the Del button to go in the BIOS and then go to BIOS FEATURES SETUP to adjust the Boot sequence to SCSI, and also you have to go into SCSI BIOS to adjust the CD-ROM Boot function to "Enable" mode. - Go to Top

If you have your files on an old Mac with a SCSI drive internal or external; and your new Mac does not have a SCSI external connector or use SCSI drives internally, what can you do? I'll discuss many options. My GENERAL advice is as follows. EITHER use some kind of Mac which HAS SCSI to read your drive, and use it to transfer files either by connection or by transfer to another media (floppy, CD, ZIP disk). OR, you add some kind of SCSI hardware to your new Mac to read the drive.

Yes, although the external drive cannot be hooked up to both at the same time. My good friend Des wrote a very detailed explanation right here. (Hook's Copy)

First, Your PC or notebook must support "External USB-HDD Boot up" function. Second, to make sure all the USB cables and power cord all firmly connect to USB slots or power in-lets. No. You must start re-boot process over again. At this moment, you must choose the correct date version you want.

In the left panel, click the external FireWIre drive and select "Partition" in menu on the right. Choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and name the drive. Click "Options" at the bottom of the window. If you have an Intel Mac, select "GUID" as the partition scheme. If you have a Power PC Mac, select ???Apple Partition Map." Click "Partition." It will ask to confirm, click "Partition" again and the partitioning process will begin.

One possibility is DMA compatibility. If your memory card is not DMA compatible, then switch 1 on the Apple HS SCSI card should be open (up). Another possibility I guess is a SCSI ID conflict. The Apple HS SCSI card's ID at the factory is set to 7. Here are the Apple HS SCSI card switch combinations: Third, the scsi chain needs termination power to work properly. This is different from termination. Both are required for a properly functioning scsi chain.

Yes, certainly. BUT, you will probably need a new SCSI cable. The Zip uses a DB-25, while the Buz has a standard high-density "SCSI-2" connector. Unfortunately, the cable to go between the two is hard to find, and often expensive. You could end up paying US$20 to $40 for it. Jeff Kleist reports that "Best Buy" has this "DB25 to HD50" cable on the shelf for $34.95. internal ZIP drive will be easier, since the Buz has a standard 50-pin "SCSI narrow" internal header.

Most external drives you purchase are formatted for PCs. If you are only going to use it with your Mac then you should reformat the drive by using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If you are gong to use it with your Mac and a PC then use "MS-DOS file system" format. To format or reformat a drive you will have to erase it. So before you erase the drive, copy your files to another drive.

The most common reason for this problem is the absence of a bootable master boot record or active partition on the target disk. When using the Copy a specific drive method to copy one drive to another, Casper Tech Edition does not replace the master boot record or change the active partition status on the target disk. In order to ensure the target disk contains a valid master boot record and the appropriate partition is marked active, it is necessary to use the Copy an entire hard disk method.

No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's when disc surfaces began incorporating factory written "embedded servo data". If you have a very old drive that can truly be low-level reformatted, SpinRite v5.0 will do that for you (which all v6.0 owners are welcome to download and run anytime).

No. WebLife Backup is used to back up files to your WebLife online storage place, allowing you convenient access to the files anywhere with an Internet Connection.

Don't expose your laptop to resonating noises, for example loud bass noise from speakers, heavy machinery.

Yes. To accomplish this, you must set up the EIDE drive as the first drive on the system, and the SCSI as the second. If you intend to replace the EIDE drive with the SCSI drive, you must remove the EIDE drive from the system after you have performed the copy operation. DriveCopy does not require that the target hard drive be set as the master and the source hard drive be set as slave.

The first step is to complete a survey of the town's right of way and the location of the road pavement within the right of way. Generally, our roads are 40 to 50 feet wide and road surfaces range from 16 feet to 30. Often, the road surface is not placed in the center of the right of way, leaving more town property on one side of the road.

When your project is GNU Autotools (Autoconf/Automake) based then you are most probably using the KDevelop Automake manager (see FAQ#Where is the Automake manager in KDevelop?). To add an include path to your project do: on the Includes tab add your path to the second box (Directories outside of project). Just enter the directory path after the -I (without whitespaces between).

A : Each blade has an option of up to a 100GB bootable local disk. Blades can also (PXE) boot or network boot as well off of other blades.

If your system allows it, you can change the boot device in the BIOS or you can open the computer and switch the drives so the DPSR drive is on the bootable channel. If there is available space in the front of your computer's case, you can install commercially available fixed disk pull-out drawers (street prices starting at $16.00), which eliminates the need to open the computer to gain access to the drives.

Booting from a USB drive is possible on all Macintosh models beginning with the Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) and the slot-loading iMac (See Apple Knowledgebase Article # 58430).

This may be caused by the following: CMOS battery in computer has lost power. (a small battery inside which maintains the time and date, and BIOS settings) Solution: replace CMOS battery and re-enter Cylinders, Heads and Sectors in the BIOS Setup. Boot Record is corrupt. Solution: From a DOS prompt, run FDISK /MBR This will re-write the master boot record. Re-boot the PC to check operation

When you install a CD image of Untangle Server onto an existing computer, as outlined in Untangle Server Quick Start Guide, you need to boot from that computer's CD-ROM drive. If this is your first time booting off a CD, no problem. Do the following, but read ALL the steps before you perform the following procedure because booting off a CD requires precise timing: Turn on the computer again, and wait a few seconds before you see a screen that says BIOS.

If the target drive is larger than 4GB, and is hosted by a PC with a Phoenix BIOS dated earlier than Nov. 1997, you may need to set the CHS translation setting to Large, and try to clone again. If this is not the case, please check that the above setting is NOT set to Large, but rather to the default setting: LBA. Make sure that the first partition selected for cloning on the master consists of a valid operating system, like Win98.

This item covers adding a third party SCSI drive to a 3B2 only as additional partitions to the ones on the internal MFM disks. Another item in this FAQ discusses uses a SCSI disk for the root and swap partitions as that is a considerably more involved procedure.] The hardware installation is relatively simple. The SCSI address of the disk must be set via jumpers. If the disk being added is the first outside disk for the 3B2 then the you must use an "AT&T SCSI Connect Kit".

Only Ultra SCSI (8 bit) drives can be connected internally or externally. Ultra SCSI 16-bit drives have to be connected via a PCI Card. Ultra SCSI (16 bit) can be used with a card but a performance gap of 40 MB/s exists since Ultra SCSI (16 bit) offers only 40 MB/s (max). Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) is highly recommended if planning to gain maximum performance with a PCI card.

The SCSI drive on the VS can be used to hook up a SCSI CD burner, a SCSI hard drive, a SCSI ZIP drive, or other SCSI storage devices (ORB drive, MO drive, etc).

Hard drives can be hooked up to the AVX internally via IEDE, and externally via USB 2.0 & Firewire. There is no SCSI available.

external drive allows you to have your music stored without using up space on your internal drive. It also becomes a medium for storage independent of your computer that is portable. You can plug it to a different computer and have your music instantly available.
