    Hello,

    I'm trying to install Morphos on a powermac G4 with an usb key (its cd driver does not work anymore).
    I have followed the procedure listed here :
    - http://www.morphos.de/guide/usb-boot
    - http://obligement.free.fr/articles/morphos_demarrage_installation_usb.php
    - http://www.meta-morphos.org/faq.php?id_cat=2&myfaq=yes&categories=Installation+et+d%E9marrage#42

    I guess it is a computer compatible with morphos as open firmware displays something like that at the beginning: Powermac 3,6 4.4.8f2. It must be this machine: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_1.0_dp_mdd.html


    However, I am still not able to install it ; I have tried almost all combinations of:
    - usb formated as fat32
    - usb formated as mac partition
    - partition of the size of the usb
    - partition of 250Mb
    - usb with iso + boot.img for 32bits computers
    - usb with content of the iso

    And obtained various errors (do not remember exactly):
    - file not found for fat32
    - unrecognised Client Program format for partition on 100% of the usb
    - nothing when it "works" : Loading ELF + DO-QUIESCE finished


    Is my computer really compatible with morphos ?
    If no, too bad for me :(

    If yes, what I am doing wrong ? If it can help, here is a screenshot of my latest test: https://s32.postimg.org/4r73c8kd1/P1090098.jpg

    thanks
