How does the "Please Install Disc 2" message work?

I've been puttering around with an old Titanium PB G4 with a busted screen, using an external monitor to bring it up to 10.4 from 10.3.9.
I inadvertently started the install with a 10.4 CD instead of my 10.4 DVD. Problem is, I don't have the second 10.4 CD, so I had to abort the install (using a hard power reset) and reinstall with the DVD.
The DVD install went OK, but now on reboot I still get the "Please install Disc 2" message, and can't proceed. I can boot into OS9 and mess with the installed OSX files, but I can't seem to find out where that message originates from.
This is more from curiosity than just trying to fix it (I could always reformat and reinstall). My question is:
What file or mechanism causes the "Please Install Disc 2" to come up on the screen? Where is it located? Or is it something in PRAM? Just curious...
Thanks

One way would have been to be certain the first partial installation
had been wiped from the computer's hard disk drive. Even though
you seem to have gotten a second installation, whatever was hung
up in the first one is probably still on the computer's hard disk drive.
Disk Utility, on the installer disc's initial menu options, can be used
to reformat; it also can be used to secure overwrite zeros beforehand
so the hard disk drive has nothing other than the formatting. This is
as good as it gets for a blank-slate before a new installation.
There may be a way to see if a second full installation exists on the
hard disk drive, by holding down the Option key on boot and see if
you get the icon representation of more than one boot OSX system.
If so, try one of them and restart. Since you have two 10.4 systems
there, telling them apart may be by trial & error. If you can find the
correct one, it may be possible to remove the other one. It may be
that the last install by DVD won't work because its on the same drive
partition as the earlier failed OS installation.
If you tried an upgrade & install or an archive & install, the old 10.3.9
system may have the problem contained within it. Some of the OS X
system parts can be totally damaged by accessing (moving location)
of its bits; some of those are invisible while booted in OS X, not in 9.
That makes it possible to remove OS X, in a way, (and any older files)
while leaving OS 9.x intact. Any erasure of the HDD, and you will
have to install OS9 Drivers in the process of first new OS install if 9
is expected to boot the computer again. Tiger may provide drivers,
if not, a reinstall of OS9.2 should. Otherwise OS9 becomes a non-boot
version called Classic, accessed under OS X. If you have the original
software installation disc set, that is where OS9/Classic would probably
be installed from. Not all OS9 system discs work in Macs that shipped
with a vintage dual-boot hardware. A copy of that OS9 could be re-used.
If OS9 is desired; otherwise it may not exist in the computer later on.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • How does the Class javax.security.auth.Subject work?

    Hi,
    i don't understand how does the class Subject work.
    First i will describe how do i understand u can use the class Subject
    This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):
    1. create a LoginContext, where u can tell over its parameter which
    Module to use
    2. a LoginModule will be used
    3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
    if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it really works
    Now the questions:
    1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff like this from
    to fill the Subjects? Principals?
    2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at client side?
    when save on server: how to reference a Subject is belong to the
    right Client?
    when save on client: how to ensure the client do not modify it?
    3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed. v1.4.1, there is
    no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then where the
    principals are saved?
    4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to modify the principals,
    so how to modify it if necessary?
    i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
    thanx,

    Hi
    Let me try to answer. I am a bit confused too.
    Hi,
    i don't understand how does the class Subject work.

    the class Subject
    This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):

    parameter which

    3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
    Correct.if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it
    really works
    Now the questions:
    1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff
    like this from
    to fill the Subjects? Principals?
    The Loginmodule does not need the user name. The username is
    only relevant to your application not to JAAS. Consider a standaalone
    application. Whoever starts the application, becomes the user.
    After you start the application, and login (whatever way), your subject
    is created. This subject pertains to the person who is executing the application, not the application specific userid/username. So the user id or name is not required. There is only one user, who is running the application. The JAAS architecture is more relevant for UNIX like
    permission/grant structure, which determines who can execute what.
    >
    2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at
    client side?
    Again the Subject has nothing to do with your application specific userid. It will be there in the LoginContext. So in a sense a LoginContext is actually a user, not a Subject.
    when save on server: how to reference a Subject is
    is belong to the
    right Client?
    when save on client: how to ensure the client do
    do not modify it?
    In a client server mode, usually the login is done twice. You have to find a way to communicate the subject to the server.3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed.
    v1.4.1, there is
    no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then
    en where the
    principals are saved?
    4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to
    modify the principals,
    so how to modify it if necessary?
    I think you can add Principals. That is definitely there.i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
    thanx,
    edo
    Hope this helps. As of now I do not think JAAS provides a very good architecture for authorization.

  • How does the Daubechies-4 wavelet VI actually work?

    Hi, 
    I'm a student currently working on my final year project, of which one of the objectives are to detect peaks of ECG signals (R-peaks) using the Daubechies-4 wavelet transform VI in LabVIEW. I'm current using LabVIEW 2013 student edition (6 months trail), if that makes any difference. 
    I am quite confused about how the Daubechies-4 wavelet works:
    1) How many levels does it decompose the signal into? 
    2) Is there a way to set the level of decomposition? 
    3) Are filters already applied in the VI or do I actually need to design a filter myself? 
    4) What is the main difference between a Db4 PtByPt and a normal Db4 transform in terms of LabVIEW? 
    5) Finally, how does the VI actually superimpose the wavelet onto the signal? Does it take the entire signal into consideration or does it take each pulse into consideration when superimposing the wavelet? 
    Thanks in advance for the answers.
    Regards,
    Derren
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Derren,
    Firstly, can you clarify the exact name of your 'Daubechies-4 wavelet transform VI' and in which pallette you find it in LabVIEW (i.e. which module / toolkit it is from)? It is also possible that the VI you mentioned is not from NI. For example, maybe you inherited that from your senior who was in the project last year.
    Nevertheless, the closest match I can find is WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI found under the Advanced Signal Processing toolkit. You can choose db04 in the wavelet terminal. This is a bit different to what you described as the VI can work for different kinds of wavelet, not just Daubechies type. Suppose you will use this, then the answer to your questions are:
    1) How many levels does it decompose the signal into? 
    2) Is there a way to set the level of decomposition?
    You can set this by wiring the value to the level terminal of the VI.
    3) Are filters already applied in the VI or do I actually need to design a filter myself?
    Both options are possible. Some commonly used filters are included and you can choose this by wiring the wavelet terminal. You can design your own filter using Wavelet Design Express VI and wire the output to the analysis filters terminal of WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI.
    4) What is the main difference between a Db4 PtByPt and a normal Db4 transform in terms of LabVIEW?
    I can not find these VI you mentioned. Please clarify.
    5) Finally, how does the VI actually superimpose the wavelet onto the signal? Does it take the entire signal into consideration or does it take each pulse into consideration when superimposing the wavelet?
    I am not sure if I understand this question correctly. You can open the WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI to see how it works inside up to the decimation filtering, in which it is protected as a DLL. From what I see it takes the entire signal (modified with the chosen extension) for this main process.
    As a last note, your LabVIEW Student Edition does not include Advanced Signal Processing toolkit, hence you will not find above VIs I mentioned. Try checking with your school if they have purchased Academic license of LabVIEW, which usually includes the toolkit.
    Hope this clarifies.

    Now we have access to our own C4C System and we are trying to configure it.  But what are the next steps? How do we get the productive system? How does SAP transfer the test data to the productive system? where do we get our development system? ....
    Does anybody have any experience with the first C4C implementation?
    The information we get from SAP confused even more than helped.
    Thanks and regards

  • How does the new "download additional fonts" feature works?

    I'm so happy to see that the “download additional fonts” feature has added in the newest iWork suite for iOS. In previous versions of iWork for iOS, available fonts are only limited to those that iOS has built in, which you can see a complete font list here: iOS 7: Font list.
    And a couple of days ago, I found that the iOS 7 is now support “download additional fonts for Apps” feature. Which means that Apps can download a Apple-provided list of addtional fonts if necessary. And we can find this list of font in that support page given above.
    So if you edit a pages / keynote / numbers file on a Mac using some fonts that iOS hasn't, then when you open it on an iOS device, it'll download the fonts for you to make your document more beautiful and personalized. That is to make sure that the document has exactly the appearance that you wanted.
    But here comes the question:
    Sometimes, those addtional downloaded fonts are available for all the documents in that App, and sometime they are only available on that particular document. Any idea how does this function work? Is it a normal function, or is it a bug waiting to be fixed?
    The downloaded "addtional fonts" are only limited to that App you're using. For example, you can access the fonts in which the App you downloaded them. So if you're using Pages to download fonts, you won't be able use them in Keynote. In other words, you have to download them again, and this will obviously take a large amount of storage space on my device if I want to use those fonts in every App. So again, is it a normal function, or is it a bug?
    Any solutions, guys? A thousand thanks in advance!

    This isn't totally new, as it was part of iOS 6 as well:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5484
    But since it really only applied to Asian fonts, it was not of much interest to other users.
    Could you give an example the fonts not being available in other documents in a particular app?
    I think confining the extra font to individual apps would be considered by Apple to be their standard desired behavior and not a bug.  It is the way iOS works in general.
    Have you actually checked the amount of storage space these fonts take up?  I doubt it is very large.

  • How does the SORT function in ALV grid work?

    Hi,
    I have a report for which the o/p is displayed in ALV grid format.There is one column in the O/p strcuture which is "No of days".Based on certain conditions,i need to display the value for some of the days as Negative e.g. " - 45".Becasuse of this,I have declared the field for the "No of days" of the type "CHAR".
    Now when i sort(using ALV grid SORT function) the list on basis of this column,it doesnt give me the correct o/p.

  • How does the S_NQ_AACT table gets written when working with Usage Tracking?

  • When and how does the message context get removed from the message when we use pass thru send port

    Friends,
    i have a doubt regarding message context.
    Assume i have used XMLRecieve pipeline in the receive side to receive the message so that the message context is created. I.e properties are promoted/written.
    now if we use pass thru transmit pipe line at send side, how and when does the message context get removed from the message?? Since pass thru does not have any stages/components, how does the message context removed and sent out a pure message to destination???
     i mean what exactly happens here to remove the context??
    Ravindar

    Thanks for the reply.
    "The Context is created by the Adapter, regardless of any Pipeline or Pipeline Component.  It has nothing to do with PassThrough vs. XmlReceive, although XmlReceive will write Promoted Properties to the existing Context,
    as can any other Component."
    yeah yeah, adapter does create some properties in context. You are right, i am aware of it. I just missed to explain it clearly. what i meant is addition of context properties will not happen if pass thru used. Thanks its clear.
    "No.  The Context already exists on the Message when it comes from the MessageBox and
    is equally available to any Component in any Stage.  The Context that hits the Pipeline is whatever was last Persisted, either by a Receive Port or Orchestration.  It is not created by the XmlAssembler (XmlTransmit)"
    You are right , the context already exists on the message while it leaves the receive port, and once it persists
    to message box the context and message context gets stored in messages in relative tables.
    Now as you said the components get the message from the last persistence, assume i have a send port(with passthru)
    subscriber and a orchestration subsrciber for this message.
    Orchestration gets the message with context right!!
    if the send sendport(with passthru) also gets message along with context, then where is this context removed/demoted
    while sending it out?.  i guess as per SAAkhlaq said,
    here sendport(with passthru) should get a pure message without context as passthru used. 
    or is it that ultimately send adapter removes the context completely?
    or is it something like biztalk run time load the context from database into cache and both orchestration and send port gets pure message, and if needed they use context from cache???
    sorry i may be troubling you, but i am confused. i hope i am not creating any nuisance with this
    post.

  • How Does the scheduler works with ODI engine

    Hi All,
    I am new to the ODI and I was going through the documents over the web regarding the scheduling.
    Can anyone please let me know how does the Scheduler in ODI is coupled with the ODI engine.
    How does the internal scheduler works and how does the external one works. What are the processes the it calls while invoking the scheduler.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sumit

    Scheduling in ODI is controlled by a special type of ODI agent, strangley called the ODI scheduling agent. This agent is installed as a service and as well as being responsible for all tasks associated with a normal agent is also responsible for managing ODI jobs based on any scheduling information associated with an ODI scenario. All scheduling information is stored in the ODI repository and the scheduler agent reads from this to determine which jobs/scenarios need to be executed and when.
