Hi Clive, If it's a beige G3 you'll need to use BootX 1.2.2 Thanks! that did the trick. Maybe it should be added to the d-i manual how to tell what's OldWorld and what's NewWorld mac. I thought i had a NewWorld one for some reason (well, just wildly guessing actually). -- Best regards,

Hi Brad, thanks for the insight. In that case, why isn't that list shipped with the d-i docs? Or is it and i was just too blind to see it? Could there be a mini-tool or a script telling? Like you have a small prog on the CD which you start and that would read Your mac is oldworld, use BootX.. --
