I have a BIG problem. I had my G3 beige running on OSX Jaguar on the internal 4GB HD when the password-protected screensaver came on. This was when I realized that I had forgotten my password :( So I restart and go under System Preferences > Startup Disk and, playing around a little, pressed Network Startup (I have an iBook G4 on the home ethernet newtork). I then rebooted. Bling! The screen went white and it put the following text at the top: "mac-boot, unknown word_" And that was it; nothing else. I have tried to start off of various system CDs but to no avail; same old procedure. Help! Please help my troubled Beige G3!
Peace,
The Mac Freak
I had something similar occur to me when I switched my 40GB hard disk from a Beige G3 to a G3 AIO, then trying to install MacOS 9 to a 4GB in the Beige G3. It was a different message, but the same result. I reset the PRAM (Command-Option-P-R) a few times, then all went well.
