OK. It's after midnight, I blink my eyes and 20 minutes rolls by.. LOL Can't stay up..

So, I decided to make a new hard drive for each build I want to benchmark to this HP2000 laptop. First I try copying the original A4000 WB3.9 HD hard drive into the new directory I want specifically for the 68040 processor (A4000 WB3.9 P68040 HD). All is good. Then, I'm thinking, when I initially set up the A4000 WB3.9 HD, I told 3.9 to install to A4000 WB3.9 HD. So if I copy it to the new A4000 WB3.9 P68040 HD directory, then maybe it's going to have conflicts for changing the name of the install directory. It didn't. (I hadn't really started to compute here so I don't know if it would eventually malfunction) So I decided to reinstall from scratch to the new A4000 WB3.9 P68040 HD directory.

The 3.9 install iso is locking up while I'm trying to install. How come?

I thought it would be the other way around.

I managed to initially get the ppc working. But after creating a new clean install, it's going back to the insert disk anim upon booting.

Not sure what I did. (or didn't do)

Anyways, thank you for the suggestions. Going back in..
