I have a Beige G3 server, the minitower. It has a 500 mhz G3 card in it but the motherboard is the original Rev. 1.

I am pretty sure I understand that if I want OS X on this Mac that I have to partition the hard drive and that the first partition must be 8 gigs or less and that the OS X installation must go on that first partition.

My question is if this limit is due to something on the motherboard or something on the bus.

Specifically, can I get around this limit if I install OS X on a big SCSI drive? Can i get around this limit if I install it instead on an IDE drive (which on this machine would mean swapping out the IDE CD drive which cannot accept a slave).

I have both Jaguar and Panther but am trying to tread water where hardware is concerned until summer.
