You don't even need a disk attached
Hi,
From what I know about Macintosh and it’s Open Firmware, FireWire is set as a
default boot-option since OF 2. Therefor any G3 or G4 Macintosh will boot from
firewire using the Command+Option boot-key. The Open Firmware will recognize

Hello all,
In response to the booting G4 from USB...
I booted my iBook G4 (A1134 2005 model with 1,42 GHz cpu and 1GB DDR) with the
string :

Going straight into the second partition on the USB, where all the boot
information is stored. Some use the third

There is a GRUB_INSTALL_PLATFORM_POWERPC_IEEE1275 for which

This has worked for me on every ibook / powerbook I have tried it on.
First check to see where your usb stick is located. You would do
dev usb0
ls
dev usb1
ls
etc.. until you find the one that has @disk1
this is the one that you want to tell OF to boot from. So, lets say
your usb stick is at

Pretty straight forward
1. Burn the image to usb
2. Plug it in
3 boot into the boot loader by holding down the opt key
4. You should see the usb as a boot device

As far as I know, only newer machines are able to boot from USB.
I was able to boot from USB on a PowerMac G5 (PowerMac11,2), but I was
not able to boot on an iMac G3 and on a eMac G4.
In the case of the G5, if the machine is booted with a USB stick in it,
it should be possible to see the "ud"
