Well, I can't get it to load. OS 9 runs fine, but it will not boot OS X. I get a "blue screen" that says can't open partition over and over and then reboots or simply a small thin black _ . Tried zapping PRAM, RAM, HD, CD-ROM, OS CD, Video, VRAM, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, taking out personality card, partitioning with OS X, partitioning with OS 9.2.2. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Ok, due to a quirk of the G3, OS X has to be installed on a drive or partition under 8-Gigs in size. If installed on a partition, the 8-Gig partition must at the beginning of the drive.
I'm not sure, but I believe an ATA boot drive also has to be configured as a Master drive under OS X.
