    My newly acquired Power Mac 7,3 (2x 2 GHz, 2,5 GB ram) won't boot MorphOS using either USB or CD, any tips?

    Booting via CD (via OpenFirmware) gives me:

    LOAD-SIZE is to small

    Booting via CD and using "C" during boot just ejects the CD after some reading noise..

    Booting via USB using the following commands

    boot usb2/disk@2:,\boot.img bi umsd0:morphos.iso

    Loading ELF

    DO-QUIESCE finished_

    And then nothing..

    Any ideas?

    CD getting ejected means that OpenFirmware was unable to load/read from it.
    Nothing happening on USB boot... are you sure you've got a supported graphics card?

    No I'm not.. I guess not from reading the supported hardware list, it's a GeForce in it.

    So it likely boots all right, just cannot display anything :/
