Q: pismo kernel panic
I wanted to install Panther on my Pismo with OS 9 running, but the CD did not show on the desktop or as bootable. So I put the Pismo in firewire mode and partitioned it with my iMacs disc utility. I then made a bootable copy of my Panther onto one partition. However, by restarting holding down option it did not show up. Then I connected the Pismo to a external firewire harddrive which contains a proven bootable copy , but this time it showed the drive as bootable but froze showing " login window waiting". I zapped the PRAM and repeated the procedure, this time the kernel panic window showed. I just hope so much I did not ruin the Pismo, I bought it on ebay and had no use for the OS 9 it came with.
