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.
There are 350 MHz Indigos with firewire.
AFAIK machines without firewire will still boot the DVD, they just won't
let you install.
As the subject indicates, it's a 600MHz.
His main problem so far is getting the video working so the OS isn't an
issue... yet.
