Some time ago I bought a second hand "old ROM" Power Mac G3 Beige box and tonight I finally got around to attempting to properly install Linux (YDL Daytona) on it.
I don't know much about Macs, but thought I knew enough about penguins to press ahead, so I reformatted my disk and put a swap, boot and normal ext2 partition on it. I then pressed on with a standard install. But, of course, I can no longer boot my machine, set the root partition or access the kernel command line or anything similar. So what is the best/cheapest/legal way to fix this? I don't have any Mac OS CDs - I wanted the system for Linux and they weren't on offer anyway. Can I buy a very cheap Mac OS and reformat the box for dual booting? Or is there the equivalent of a rescue disk option available? Or do I have to get a legal copy of Mac OS 9.1 even though that is just about the last thing I want/need?
