Your G3 is using the DW disk to boot into OS X....it takes quite a long time for this to happen......if you wait and go make a cup of coffee then you will be in OS X and you can run DW accordingly.

Additionally you should be able to select OS 9 ...click the arrow beside in the disk in the startup contol panel.....on the DW disk and have your G3 boot into 9......

In any event that is what your computer is doing....

I've just inherited an original G3 blue bondi Imac which has 9.1 installed. I wanted to run disk warrior (the latest version) to inspect/fix the hard drive - which says it is compatible with 9.1. However, I can't boot up off the Disk Warrior CD. I put the CD in and pick the disk from the control panel as the start up disk and restart - and I get a white screen w/grey apple logo - with the gear spinning and spinning. I have to unplug the Imac from the wall to get it restarted. I did do a scan on the hard drive and it shows that it is in need of repair/optimizing - so I'm really hoping to get disk warrior to look at the drive. Any ideas appreciated! Thanks.
Indecision may or may not be my problem...
