> > Booted to OS 9.2.1, X.2 CD in CD-ROM > Install X (Jaguar) I don't know about anyone else's experience, but mine has been that you can't set the OS X cd as a boot device from 9.x on a Beige G3. Put the disk in, restart and hold down the C key.
> Boot to nothing... > Black screen. Some disk activity then no disk activity. > > Remove X CD, replace w/ 9 CD. > Boot holding C, nothing > Boot holding the vulcan nerve pinch, nothing > Boot holding option, nothing. (THis worked when we had the same problem > w/ 10.1) Option key will not work on a beige. Shut it down, wait a couple seconds and then turn it back on and reset the pram (cmd-opt-p-r). > > Apple has made great strides in becoming more Windows like. They don't provide terrific instructions for the Beige series. Make sure you hard drives are set correctly for master/slave. If you only have one, you may need to set it as a master anyway. Also, OS X cannot boot from a SCSI CDRom drive, so if you've installed one as a replacement for the stock IDE drive you'll have to switch them back for the install (after which, the SCSI drive should be fine). There are several of us on this list who have successfully installed to a beige G3. We'll all happily give any help we can offer.
