I got the G3 to boot from the CD, the first message I recieved said "wrong
partition" but then continued to boot and ran until I got to the "insert
installation CD" Prompt. I ran it first with the "tasty morsels.img cd", but
this failed with the message "Segmentation fault
install exited abnormally
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
unmounting filesystems...
/proc
you may safely reboot your system
I tried again but this time when it asked for the install CD I put the one I
bought from YDL in, but same message.
I guess I am going to have to go buy an MacOS 9 cd
