Your comment about reconfiguring the network gave me the clue I needed.
The problem was that the machine had two ethernet interfaces -- one PCI
card, one built-in on the motherboard. For some reason this was
confusing it and it was not configuring the
Well... I got some free time so I set up a beige G3 with a known-good
floppy drive and brand-new IDE hard drive. I decided to see how far I
could get on that machine with a floppy based installation. Last night
it couldn't find a disk drive to partition. I wondered if it was just a

I'll file one.
The main reason it's an issue for Macs is that, unlike PCs, Macs
don't have a big fat eject button on their drives. You have to
use the paper-clip hole if the system

Hi Jeremie!
I downloaded the images.
The first thing I noticed was that the root.img was more than
1.440 MB long.
The second thing that I noticed was that fdformat and
