hi.
I just reinitialized a pb1400 thinking that I could install the 8.6 that was included with my G4... As expected, it won't let me - says I need the right installer script.
Does anyone know of workarounds to this??
thanks

Do you have the "software restore" disk? if so, there should be a disk image on it somewhere. Mount it and copy its contents to th PB hard drive to install.
That's how I used my iMac CD to install OS 9 onto my beige G3 and 2nd-gen PBG3.

I think that I went about it back-asswards. I found 'a' disk image that was actually the complete system and transferred that over to the powerbook. Once it was done I blessed the new system folder and trashed the old one.
It seems to me that these things used to be easier to do....
Thanks for your help.
appreciated.

Yeah, they were. Heck, the iMac CD said, when I tried to install it normally on the beige machine, that it was "incompatible with this machine."
It's been running on it for three months now...

First, let's remember that that is a violation of the user agreement. The OS 9 that you can install from say a G-4 machine is licensed for that machine and it is a violation of the user agreement to install in on a second machine.
That said. It is the system folder on the disk that does not start up the pirate machine. The system it installs will be fine.
