Hey All
I went to the Apple Store to buy OSX 10.3 for my Pismo and New 80gb Hard Drive, asked them how do I Boot from my Pismo to the New Panther Disc, they didn't have any idea and thought I needed to load OS9 first then Boot at startup pressing the ""C"" key???
Is this True, do I have to Load OS9 first???
I just got my Pismo today off Ebay, my First Apple since my MAC SE.
I did a search but didn't come across anything that said how to Boot with New Drive, and the Manuels I download don't say anything either...
Thanks!!!
Brad

I think you should be able to just boot from the Panther cd. Pop the drive in, pop the disc in, boot up and immediately press and hold down the C key. And if that fails, try with the Option (alt) key.

It might depend upon whether the Pismo has had all of its BIOS updates. It might not boot Panther otherwise.
Worst case, order OS 9.1 from Macsales.com . It will work fine, and you can partition the drive into pieces very easily and install OS X on one partition and OS 9 on another. Classic isn't going to run very snappily on a Pismo no matter what you do, so you might want to have a separate, booting install of 9.1 or later.

He can be fixed -- you can't.

It should boot from the Panther CD. I'm pretty sure mine does.
