I downloaded XPostFacto onto the Beige G3, and ran it. However, it

this be so, when it clearly can run OS9? It offers to install it to my
secondary HD, but I'm not sure if that'd work, or if I'd retain
compatibility (besides, HD 2 is only a 4GB).

Okay, what is the primary drive? If an IDE, then X has to be installed
on the first partition and that partition must reside in less than 8 Gb
of space. Being as OS 9 is currently installed, I would say that is
why Xpostfacto won't allow it to go on that drive. Not sure why it
would let you install it on the second HD as it would not boot from
there. Here is a thought, can you move the OS 9 system to the second
HD and free up the first HD? If so, I would give booting the CD
another try then. I know that getting OS X on a beige can be a hassle,
but yours seems to go above and beyond the norm!
