I am not much of a mac user but was given the task of getting
postgresql and an application working on a G4. I successfully
installed postgresql from the sourceforge package and got this java
application running. The only thing I can think that i did other
than the postgresql install is that I reset the root passwd.
Everything was working great until I rebooted this morning. The gray
screen with the apple appears with the progress pinwheel and nothing
happens. I was not able to boot into safe mode. I was able to boot in
singleuser mode. When I try and startup from there I see this
repeatedly: memberd[58]: Couldn't find root user. Sleeping and trying
again
I tried rebuilding the netinfo database with this command per some
website I saw /usr/libexec/create_nidb ... No luck
I have no idea what to do now. Did i kill this mac?
Will it boot from the OS X CD/DVD? If you can get it to do that, you
can reset the root password, etc. Get the CD/DVD in the drive and hold
the C key down until it boots.
