<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Hi all. I found a mac g4 cube sitting by the
side of the road (in the trash). I have been out of the "mac loop" for
10-15 years (my last mac was a mac classic) but it looked so pathetic sitting
there so I picked it up. When I got it home I plugged my usb keyboard and
usb mouse in and my vga display. Then I touched the power button and the
little bugger roared to life. Then it just sat there with a big gray apple
on a white screen with a little swirling pinwheel thing. When I googled
this, it said to reboot with command-v to get to the boot messages and it stops
dead after it says:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">/etc/rc: line 283: 147
Hangup SystemStarter -gr
${VerboseFlag} ${SafeBoot} </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">So, my question is what does this mean and how can
I fix it? I don't have any disks or manuals, etc. Should I go out
and buy OS X and reinstall? Is there something simple I can try
first?</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Thanks in advance for any help you can
provide!</font></div>
