Actually, if it works, it works just fine, runs better than Jag, in

I know someone who could never get even 10.2 installed on his, even
after swapping out *every* component. (he had an Apple tech as a
friend who took an interest, then an obsessive interest in
getting...OSX...to...run...on...that...damn...Beige!)
I think the beige G3 line is turning out to be one of the more
idiosyncratic lines Apple made.

This is the sig who says 'Ni!'
Tell me about it. Just last night I was trying to install the same
*Jaguar* that runs so well on a 12 MB Maxtor, on my beige G3 MT, onto
a 20
MB Western Digital (from the installer CDs, not copying!). (This is
from a
2002 iMac disk, but it worked with the Maxtor...I zeroed out the WD
beforehand, BTW, & partioned it correctly for a beige, same as the
Maxtor.)
Install goes well, but then when it tries to boot from the WD, Open
Firmware comes up & keeps telling me "Can't open...Can't open..." etc.
for
a while, then reboots -- dark screen for a while, then the same thing.
Resetting the PRAM (10 times) & the NVRAM does nothing to help, except
now
it will boot into 9 (on a different drive). Holding down the opt. or X
keys does the same thing.
Yes, I know about the WD having to be jumpered for nothing when it's on
its own solitary bus. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

IIRC when I got to that point, after rebooting to OS 9.2.2 I had to
put the install disk back into the CDROM drive and bring up disk
utility. Then I ran repair disk.
However on my system I was booting from an 1Gb IOMega drive and if your
OS 9 in on a partition of the same drive as your OSX this procedure
might not work.
