[DuoList] PowerBook 2400c booting external CD-ROM

[Ward Curry]

I am trying to re-install the system software on a PowerBook 2400c. I  
just purchased an external SCSI CD-ROM drive off eBay for this  
purpose. I have a connection cable and a terminator on the other SCSI  
port. Every time I try to boot holding down the "C" key it comes up in  
SCSI disk mode with a "2" flashing across the screen. How do I get it  
to boot off the CD-ROM? I have an OS 8.1 system software disk I am  
using, I just can't get it to boot off the CD-ROM.

Much help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
