I think his problem is that it *doesn't* have an HD, and he's trying to boot it
from the optical drive...
Check to make sure the CD is a CD, and is bootable by that iMac. If it's a
system specific disk that's not for an iMac G3, that could be causing the
trouble.
Are you sure it's a DV model? If it's a 350Mhz Indigo model, it'll only run
10.3, and not 10.4 (without Xpost facto) The sticker on the bottom lists the
system stats. You might see if you can find an OS 9 disk to try out, since all
G3 iMacs can boot into OS9, and OS9 was only on CD.
