Well, well. The iBook would *not* boot from the TT Deluxe disk. The
iBook would also *not* boot from the DiskWarrior disk. The iBook *would*
boot from the Systems disk that came with it. The desktop G3 w/ G4 upgrade
and the old G3 iBook did indeed, as expected, boot up from TT Deluxe and
Disk Warrior CDs.
That's not a problem with the iBook, but with the TT and DW CD-Roms. Burn a new startup CD from your iBook using a great program called BootCD (available at versiontracker or macupdate) and add DW and TT via the 'add applications' command in BootCD and you'll be in business in no time at all.
As I sat down with it for the first time, I noticed that
when you boot up, if you watch the OS X screen as the system loads, there is
normally a string of messages which flash across the OS logo as the blue
progress bar makes it way from left to right.
I instantly noticed something wrong: the messages got only as far as
"Waiting for network initialization" and the blue progress bar only got
halfway across its allotted run before the OS X logo disappeared and the
desktop appeared.
I don't think there is anything strange there. The string of messages which you see on a 'slow' machine tells you what is going on under the hood at startup. With new machines, it happens so fast (as another post said) that the 'summary' gets cut short.
