Troubleshooting

  • You cannot upgrade from Mac OS 9.0 to 9.1 using updaters on NuBus models. You must use a full installation CD for OS 9.1.
  • To boot from CD-ROM, start the computer while holding down the command, option, shift, and delete keys. This will bypass the internal hard disk drive and boot from the CD-ROM.
  • If your monitor isn’t syncing to video, hold the T key while restarting. Release the key when things sync properly.
