Hi
I have a iMac g5 that originally was running os 10.4. I managed to successfully install OpenBSD and managed to get it to boot by going into open firmware and setting it to setnev boot-device:, hd
Everything worked well but I couldn’t find a browser that worked, so today I decided to instal the ppc version of NetBSD 9.0
First, I reset the pram (cmd alt p r) and then after that it wouldn’t boot into anything. Every time I attempted to boot the cd or hd It just came back with load size too small. If I just let it boot without entering open firmware then I just get the no bootable device screen with the finder logo on a os9 style folder. I have tried reset-nvram, set-defaults, and reset-all, but nothing works. I can’t even get the openbsd cd to work, which originally booted without any firmware commands. For the openbsd, I only needed some firmware commands to boot from had once installation had finished, not just to boot to cd.
I am totally confused. Any ideas?
