Guys, need some serious help fast. Basically I have a 350 iMac that is blue with 320MB of RAM and I am trying to load panther on it. When I put the boot disc in the system it errors out before it restarts, usually giving a -2 error and saying that it cant make the cd a boot device. When I tryu restarting and holding down the c key it goes into open firmware and wont let me boot to the CD. I have tested the CD on another system just to make sure taht the CD itself wasnt bad and it worked just fine. Someone please help, I am at someone's house and their $130 panther isnt working and they're not too happy...

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Hmm, were there any firmware updates for this model iMac? You'll certainly want to check that.
