I hope you enjoy the video After the last part, the computer froze then it restarted then it went to that brand new iMac G4 video smoothly. Here are the steps: 1. Restart or Turn On Your iMac G4 or G5 Computer 2. Press Command and S at the same time when you see a black screen. 3. Root # should come up 4. When you see the Route # type in MOUNT Space - UW Space / Press The Return Key 5. Root # comes up type in RM Space /DB/.applesetupdone Press the Return Key 6. Your screen will come up with all these white words going down which is normal 7. It will shutdown, Turn ON your iMac G4 or G5 Computer 8. It will take a while to load up, then it should load a quick video starting with a apple logo. Their you go, you have just started a new computer ENJOY!!
