The 4.l.9f1 firmware update, as I said earlier, is available from Apple. All that is needed is to go online using OS 9.x, then use the Software Update control panel to see what updates are available. Of course, you should check first in Apple System Profiler>Production information>Boot ROM version. The 4.l.9f1 firmware update may be installed already. It is not necessary to use XPostFacto to install OS X on ANY slot-loading G3 iMac.
