Welcome to Open Firmware, the system time and date is: 00:57:23 04/01/2011

ok

if i continue with the booting, i end up with a blank screen with a folder in
the midle alone with a question mark, what does this means?
i have the Mac OS Tiger 10.2 and also Tiger 10.4 CD's DVD's, etc.
any help to make this machine running again will be very appreciate.
if i start the machine with the Mac OS CD in it and press and hold the C key
i do not get anything, i donde this on other Mac laptops and desktop, but on
this one things don't look very well.
Thanks in advance
Also - folder with question mark means it can't find an OS on the startup disk.

Suitable installer means:
1. For your G4, no greater that 10.4.x
2. the correct medium for your optical drive (not a DVD if you don't have a DVD reader)
3. A retail installer disk. Your G4 did not ship with either 10.2 or 10.4, so if those disks are not not retail installer disks they will not work.
