Hey Y'all I recently snagged myself a G4 MP "Mystic" complete with a Macally iKey keyboard and optical mouse. When I booted the first time I noticed the drive had been erased (flashing ?). I searched my stash for a bottable disk, in this case 9.0, and placed it in the dvd drive. On restart, I held down the "c" key to start from the dvd drive and got nothing. I thought the dvd drive also plays cds and should allow a bootable disk when pressing the "c" key. Am I wrong? I need advice to load an os on this baby. Thanks for reading and responding.
