| 00:37.56 | simonrvn | that'll work, but OF access is through serial console only |
| 00:38.09 | simonrvn | bad combo of h/w and OF version |

| 04:06.39 | zztzed | Hm. Well, hopefully if I screw up this installation I can find someone with MacOS CDs... |
| 04:07.34 | simonrvn | usually goes well. you can always reboot to the floppies, and start over. it'll pick up where it left off |
| 04:07.59 | simonrvn | the woody installer is primitive, and buggy, but does the job |
| 04:08.17 | simonrvn | very much KISS principle :) |
| 04:16.26 | zztzed | Here goes nothing. |
| 04:17.26 | zztzed | I'm kinda concerned that I'll somehow leave the machine in a completely unbootable state, but ... |
| 04:18.02 | simonrvn | just make sure your boot-device is ok. nvsetenv command. press alt-F2 to go to the console |
| 04:18.28 | zztzed | It's set to "/AAPL,ROM". |
| 04:19.06 | simonrvn | well, wait til you've finshed the install, and check it "make system bootable" |
| 04:19.15 | simonrvn | then check |

| 05:05.18 | zztzed | Because I made /boot a separate partition, apparently. |
| 05:14.44 | zztzed | ...and I just inadvertantly powered the machine off while trying to get the case to stop rattling. Oh well. |
