OS X 10.4 on G4 iMac with Firewire
According to Wikipedia, OS X 10.4 will run on my G4 iMac with Firewire. The installer disk worked and installed the OS on an external Firewire disk. Installation was successful. When I try to run the OS, I get the big apple at the beginning of the startup and that's all that happens. It sticks there. Nothing works. I have to hold the power button down until the machine turns off. Then it won't start unless I disconnect the external drive. How can I make OS X 10.4 run on this machine?
