Mac os 9 startup problem (mac mini G4 1.25) (SOLVED)
« on: September 14, 2024, 07:18:08 AM »

Hi all,

I installed on my mac mini G4 1.25GHz a mac os 9 obtained from https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-922-mac-mini-g4. I specify:

- I partitioned the hard drive with the Mac OS 9 drivers

- The installation was done without errors

- I started the mac mini in target mode and checked from another mac that the files were indeed present on the mac os 9 partition, I also did a disk check (no error).

At startup I briefly see the mouse pointer and the little mac and after that it gets stuck at the floppy disk with "?".

However, all the files are present on the partition, I can't understand...
Maybe the installer misconfigured the system, but that's beyond my skills.

Does this problem mean anything to anyone?

Thanks.

I finally tried with the iso provided with macos9lives, and now it boots correctly.

Thanks to macos9lives!

Great you got it working, congratulations!

Have fun with your Mini (actually typing this from one!) and join the discussions :-)
