[iBook] OS install on new HD

[Joy Freeman]

Thanks, Jim and Tom, for your ideas. The logic board is a good suspect. He
had his replaced last year, but I know of many people who had one fail after
another.

The diagnostic CD checked out fine. But still no go. Then he left for a
couple of hours and came back and, before I had a chance to pass on Tom's
suggestion for verbose start-up, he hit the power key and it started up.
It's been running okay ever since. He's reloading software now. He's a bit
distrustful of it, though.

Thanks again!
Joy
