Classic mac fun (and some questions) (continued...)

   Ugh. Are you
sure the CD is good? Things that also occur to me is a problem
 with the controller.  
 I got it from ebay.  It's not perfect, but I don't see why it shouldn't
work.

 What should be happening here?  Should the machine detect and just
 boot off the cd-rom?  Or do I have to do anything different than just
 turn it on? 
It should 'just boot' into the Installer. The Happy Mac you briefly get
indicates that the Mac can see the disc, and the System Folder on it, so
the CD-ROM is undoubtedly working. I'm still thinking about RAM being a
problem, mind you, but your unit may just be plain broken if it's throwing
bus errors.
