Hi folks, Was hoping I could rely on your collective genius to help me out with this. I have a G3 iMac DV Graphite, G3/400 with 384MB of RAM, which I've been trying to get FreeBSD to install on. Here is a summation of my trials and travails thus far:
Upgraded the firmware to the latest. Went through the FreeBSD installer, found that the FreeBSD disklabel editor apparently cannot repartition drives (???), installed the system in sort of a strange way in that I had to make / on the 6th or 7th partition on the drive (the first 5 or so were 50MB partitions that it wouldn't let me delete or change). Still should have worked, but didn't. No matter what I install -- Free/Net/OpenBSD or YDL -- the machine will not boot from the hard drive after installation is complete. All I get is the flashing "sad Mac/question mark hard drive" icon. Anybody have some tips to get this thing working correctly? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
