So, to cut a long story short I have been sitting on a Powermac G5 for some time (from a recycling centre) marked as working. No Hard drives but 2gb Ram installed.
I installed a HDD in the bay from an old laptop
Power Mac powers up and boots to the folder icon with question mark as expected as there is no OS installed and I am able to access the OFW. There is to my surprise a Mac OS install disk in the drive bay, this is Mac OS v 10.1.4.
I have tried holding key C down and nothing happens, when I boot back into OFW and try the command Boot cd it states 'Load size is too small'
I have spent the last 3 hours googling with no success. Can anybody give me any pointers, as you can guess I am not familiar with Mac ecosystems
Many thanks in advance
