<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>as I cannot test Mac stuff, I do have one suggestion... Get a DVD-RW disk, they're good for at least 100 re-tries and can be found at dollar / euro / pound shops nice and cheap. I have a couple of DVD-RW's to complement my CD-RW's. Making toastrs with -R disks is a little silly :)</div>

I have successfully booted 12.04 and 14.04 from USB numerous times
on two machines.<br>
the usb# depends on which USB port you are using.<br>
This is a tried and true method, and Open Firmware does support
it.<br>
Open Firmware allows you to set how the computer boots, and which
drive it boots from.<br>
<br>
I was wondering if anyone else had tried this yet that<br>
<br>
a.) knows how to do this<br>
b.) has had success doing it in the alpha<br>
<br>
I have done this more than once. This is something that has
worked reliably in the past few releases. It currently doesn't
work. So I am wondering if it will even boot from a DVD... I
don't want to waste a DVD if it wont work anyhow.<br>
<br>
Is this more clear?<div class=""><br>

Has anyone tried booting this as a USB yet?<br>
For some reason, I am completely unable to boot it.<br>
I have been trying various open firmware commands, but it
simply cannot<br>
boot.<br>
I downloaded the Alpha the other day, with no success on
booting.<br>
I zsynced it today and MD5SUM'd it.<br>
<br>
So... here is the problem<br>
<br>
boot usb1/@1:2, \\yaboot<br>
wont work...<br>
I get this helpful? message<br>
<br>
<br>
MAC-PARTS: LOAD <noninterposed> not supportedload-size=0
adler32=1<br>
LOAD-SIZE is too small<br>
ok<br>
<br>
I tried usb2 and usb3 on two machines and then I boot to
yaboot, on the HD.<br>
Anyone have any thoughts about what is going on? Any OF
commands I<br>
could run to find out more info here?<br>
