Of course, not any MacOS disk can boot any Mac. But, in your case, 8.6 should boot your PM G3. Is it an original Apple CD? Is the keyboard an ADB one, or an USB one? (if USB, is it connected directly to the USB port, or through an USB hub?). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
