I seem to have the same issue with the PowerPC CD (since the alpha stage im= ages). It will show up in the boot menu but once selected it doesn=E2=80=99= t work at all, just inverts colors. Tested on both my G5 DP and eMac G4, wh= ich the latter works only on the now obsolete 10.4 and current 11.1. 11.2 d= oesn=E2=80=99t boot all the way (hangs at cryptosoft0 in the boot sequence) Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Sunday, December 2, 2018, 7:23 PM, Rick Macklem <rmacklem@uoguelph.ca> w= rote: miltonott wrote: >>On Sat Dec 1 21:51:05 UTC 2018 CenturyLink Customer wrote: >>> Hello all:Sorry, this old Pentium=C2=A0 4 refurbished test machine has = been obstinate >>> during ALPHA, BETA, and now RC.I had a workaround using the BTX bootloa= der=C2=A0 from >>> ALPHA8 and pasted it into BETA3; meanwhile,remastering the .iso disk=C2= =A0 afterwards.
