It seems that I messed up.

The correct command sequence is:
> " /" select-dev
> 00000008 " graphic-options" get-my-property 2drop !
> unselect
> mac-boot

i.e. on the first line the select-dev must come as the last word on the line. The error on the second command comes from the fact that the root of the device tree isn't properly selected. Apparently it is also better to release the device node (line 3). "mac-boot" then boots MacOS .  Source: http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html

Ok, thanks for the new commands. But to insert the previous strings, do I have to insert something before and after? If I just start OFW and insert them and send them, it gives me errors. Look at the image. Am I doing something wrong? Let me know, thanks.

Hello, first time poster here!

I have tried lots of different combinations but cannot seem to find a way to install MacOS 9 Lives on my unsupported iMac G4 15 inch 1GHz (USB2). I don't have any blank CDs so am using a Lacie FW drive that I have used for lots of bootable OSX installations.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

- I downloaded the Unsupported G4 Mac OS 9 Lives install from the Macintosh Repository
- Using Disk Utility in OSX 10.4 Tiger, I then partitioned the Lacie drive using Apple Partition Map, ensuring to tick the OS 9 drivers option.
- I then used the "restore function" in Disk Utility to restore the ISO file to the FW drive, ticking "erase destination".
- I then restart the iMac, and at the boot picker I see the "MacOS9Lives" drive, but when I boot into it after a few seconds I am greeted with the Classic-style flashing question mark on floppy disk icon.

(I have also tried restoring the IMG file inside the ISO, instead of the ISO itself, but get the same result)

Many thanks for any help!

I have 820-1452-A cpu bord and i need a boardview file to check schematics of daughterboard to potentially replace anything that went bad

... I don't know how to exit everything and restart.

“To continue booting, type “mac-boot” and press return.
  To shut down, type “shut-down” and press return.”
 

Here’s a TOP and a BOTTOM view of a single processor (SP) daughtercard.

Provide an Apple number like the (outlined in RED) 820-1497-A from what
card you have… and it might be easier to photograph similar one here, than
it has proven to be… to actually find one already here, just now.

* I know that you have a Dual Processor.

ALSO, provide the number from your mobo / logic board too, in case
that might be a different number. [I’m currently looking @ an Apple
820-1445-A mobo © 2002 here, right now. (Not shown.)

[Ahh, now found a dual processor daughtercard too. (At the bottom.)

When I start OFW, I get an "O" > "OK." I enter the first string and press Enter, and it says "ALLOC-MEM request too big!".
It automatically always gets an "O" >. If I enter the second string, "No current instance"... I don't know how to exit everything and restart.

Hello, is mdd boardview available somewhere, exceptionally for cpu card

I have the same laptop and I'm in the exact same situation. I tried several modified extensions but I couldn't. I read the OFW commands but I'm a beginner and typing only those strings gives me errors. Do I have to write something else before or after inserting them? Could you see what you need to write when OFW starts? Sorry but I'm just starting to learn OFW. Let me know thanks!

The "> " is the OFW prompt and should not be included. The spaces around the first double quote ('"') are  NOT optional. Otherwise I don't know what could have gone wrong.
