    Hello

    I'm newbie on MorphOS. I have 2 same Mac Mini G4 (1.42 GHz, 512 Mb RAM). The 2 superdrive are broken and i try install MorphOS 3.7 with USB key.

    When i execute boot.img, OF say :

    Loading ELF

    DO-QUIESCE finished

    And i waiting more and more time but nothing more.

    Any help ?

    It's possible to boot the install disk with a CD Reader (SATA) on USB ?

    Thank's in advance and sorry for my broken english :(

    Do you have boot.img for MacMini?

    You can use the CD-ROM SATA on USB

    Hello,

    I have download the ISO file for Mac Mini G4 (the first choice in the download page) and i hove download 2 times becauise first time i think the ISO is broken.

    I have try with the usb boot guide on the page from MorphOS Team.

    And i try with 2 usb keys (one 4 Go and one 32 Go).

    I have just try with the superdrive of my Macbook Pro connected in SATA but i don't see this in the boot menu from Mac Mini and i don't see usb key in the same menu.

    Maybe the 2 Mac Mini are broken...

    How you start USB/CD from OF?
    MacMini can start from USB only OF command.

    Did you check the md5sum for the downloaded ISO image?

    And are you sure that you have correctly written the "bi umsd0:morphos.iso" part so that it really matches with the iso image name you have on the USB key (case sensitive etc)?
