MorphOS 2.7 & MacMini display & boot questions

No, MorphOS doesn't somethimg strange to DH0. It is just a partitition formated with Mac HFS that usually doesn't get mounted on MorphOS boot process, but can manually mounted whenever you like.
thing that you cannot boot from CD anymore is a bit strange though. What happens when you don't boot from CD, but just start the computer manually, can you access the firmare (alt-cmd-o-f)?

Press "c" to boot off optical drive.

yes, I can get to the open firmware screen...

Okay, then then hardware/gfx is not dead completely.
Can you access the hd from OF? I don't know the right command now (something like ls /pci/ide/ ).
 Do you have another monitor, maybe a CRT? On my Efika the default boot had problems with the right sync for the attached monitor (which was particularly difficult since it was an internal device).


I am also quite surprised that OS X refuses to boot off DVD. Doesn't it start with "c" pressed? Needs a few repetions sometims until catched...

If you boot MorphOS off CD is the drive still spinning once the monitor goes idle? generally MorphSo detects the monitor specs, but there can always be bad circumstances leading to a wrong detection. Do you have a manual of the monitor? Does it do 31.5 kHz? Many tfts start at frequency ranges a few kHz above.

Sounds really like wrong video sync. Do you have another DVI cable to test (maybe it's faulty)? And I think there are these passive DVI-VGA adaptors. If you have an old CRT...
