I bought a 43p-140 233MHz on ebay. It came without a hard drive. I'm using a 6.5GB Quantum SCSI2 50pin drive which was previously on a Mac and I have 384MB ram in the system.
I cannot install or get past pressing F5 or F6. I used F1 to change the boot order and I have cleared BIOS info by removing the battery and power cord. If I go into the firmware via F8 and then type "boot cdrom:" nothing happens except a carriage return. This is the same result after pressing F5 or F6 after the keyboard icon appears at boot. It hangs at 4b5 on the LED above the power button.
I have the original install media for AIX 4.3.2 and 4.3.3. I have a burned copy of AIX 5.1. The results are the same in any case.
Any clues as to how to get the OS installed?
Thanks
