I burned the mini ppc install cd the same way i burn all of my cds for my imac rev.A . I got the cd to boot to the blue screen with the boot menu and i thought i was home free. When i enter "G3" to boot the G3 kernel, it says it cannot read the cd. This is weird because the image passed the md5 test and the cd is freshly burnt. I also know the cdrom drive works because i just installed macos9 from it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.insert cd 2.reboot system holding "c" key at boot. 3.at boot menu, give it any command and it says "cannot read" Actual Results: same thing as listed in details. Expected Results: It should have booted the G3 kernel when i entered "G3" this was burnt using nero burning rom in windows xp. The same way i have burnt working mac os backups.
Also, I have browsed the cd in Mac OS 9. I opened a pdf and alot of html files. The data seemed to be ok and readable. No problems in mac os.
Oh guys, so sorry. I suppose it was the way i was burning it. Strange. I burned it again using "Transmac" application and now it can read. If anyone has a problem like this, im pretty sure transmac has a trial edition of the software.
