Poppy Lake Mac OS

To boot a PowerMac (or an iMac, iBook, eMac, etc..) from an USB stick or drive, if you have a G5 or late G4 model, first refer to the boot from CD guide and if it does not work, then follow these instructions:

1. Plug your USB stick or drive in an USB port

2. Galactic neighbor wars mac os. Power the computer on (or restart it if it's already running) and immediately..

3. ..hold down those 4 keys together: [ CMD + OPT/ALT + O + F ] until you see the white Open Firmware screen similar to this:

4. Then at the Open Firmware command prompt, type this and press ENTER: boot usb0/disk@1:,:tbxi

(Please make sure that there are 2 backslashes before :tbxi just in case this page contents gets screwed up in the future)

Note: You may have to change usb0 for usb1 depending on which port you plugged your USB stick in. If it still doesn't work, you can try this command: boot ud:,:tbxi

Relicuos mac os. Note 2: If you want to boot a non-Macintosh partition, say for instance a PPC Linux distribution, then change tbxi for yaboot Ada (combat demo) mac os.

Note 3: If you get a CAN'T OPEN error, it means that you forgot to plug in your USB stick BEFORE powering on the computer, so turn the Mac off and start over from step #1.
