    Hi guys,

    I have successfully installed MorphOS to a Mac Mini G4 but my PowerMac won't boot from the cd. If I hold c, it eventually goes into Mac OSX. If I hold alt, it takes me to the boot loader screen but it never shows MorphOS. Not sure what the problem is. I'm re-burning the ISO to another dvd to try it. I can mount the DVD in Mac OSX just fine and see the files but I cannot boot it :(

    Also I don't have an Apple keyboard, only a PC USB keyboard, but that didn't matter for my Mac Mini.

    try the new ISO image. you probably still have the old one which caused problems with booting.

    Sounds more like your cd drive had a good moment.

    It is unlikely that your disc is broken unless you downloaded it within the first 4 hours after 3.2 release.

    Imho using ALT (Os menu) instead holding C is much more reliable option.

    It's definitely a superdrive issue; after trying over and over again, eventually it just worked. Not sure why. Oh well :) I have little reason to boot from CD/DVD again now that morphos 3.2 is intalled. Using a CD/DVD after booting seems to work fine, so no big deal.
