I had the same problem awhile back with my beige G3's. What solved it for me was to pull the battery and let it sit for a bit and then put it back in, have the power cord plugged in but not computer not on and hit the cuda, button, best to use a wooden or plastic stick. Might not have to pull the battery and just hit the cuda button. I have found that when all fails...pull the pram battery and all else plugged into the mother board. All cards, ram, rom, video boards, cords etc..... let it sit overnight and put all back in..... Has saved more than one computer for me.....
Hope this helps

I am having the same problem with my machine refusing to boot into the partition with 9.2.2. It will only boot in X, so I hope someone is able to help with this...

Beige G3 300 running Jaguar: when I try to launch 9.2 in Classic mode, it starts up, then the Classic icon disappears (and any classic app that was starting as well), but the Classic system preference panel still thinks it's running (gives me the option to "stop").
If I try to change the start up disk to the partition containing 9, it just doesn't boot up. After zapping PRAM, I can eventually get it to re-start in X.
I had this same problem with a clean install of 9.1 (actually, it was a copy of a clean install--had to copy it to a different HD, partition this one for X, then copy it back on), then I upgraded it to 9.2.1 then to 9.2.2 (interestingly, in X it kept the classic environment going long enough to successfully do the OS9 installs--not so for any other app).
Any ideas?
