My beige G3 (upgraded with G4/533, voodoo graphics, 120 Gb disc) refused point blank to boot from the Jaguar install disc if there was any other system available. I had to boot from an OS 9 installer CD and initialise the drive first, and then partion using the Disk Utility on the OS X install disc. It would not then install until I set the first partition to 7.5gb (not 8gb as the documentation states). I have not experimented to find the precise cutoff point. I trust this may be of help.

Installing OS 10.2 on Beige G3
Have you tried XPostFacto? I'm running 10.1 on an old 7600 (not 10.2 cuase that will only run on a G3 or newer). It copies all the install files to your target hard drive and then reboots like your installing it from the CD... It's pretty slick

When you say runs great (for an old machine) just how well is that and what all do you do? I just got an AIO on eBay and it hasn't gotten here yet but I am wondering if it will handle OS X very well or if I should just leave 9 on it for now. Also, how much RAM is needed to run it decently. I know 128 is the minimum but I would think that at least 256 would be what I should go for.

Installing OS 10.2 on Beige G3
I just got a G3 AIO 266. I would like to put the hard drive that was in my iMac (I just put a 20 gig drive in it) in the AIO. It is a 10 GB Maxtor 5400RPM ATA 66 drive. I got a Promise Technology ATA 66 card for it. What will I need to do to boot from that card. Also if at all possible I would like to boot from the existing system on the drive so that I don't have to reload everything. Is this doable? I am supposed to get the AIO via UPS tomorrow.

OK so I partitioned and installedon a 100gig HD but now my OS X partition is filling up and I have 80+ gig on the other partition. G3 266/400+ ram. I am handy with a soldering iron but would rather upgrade the SCSI controller. Any suggestions?

Installing OS 10.2 on Beige G3
Dude, I personally watched my boss put a 10.2 boot disc into a 233MHz G3 with nothing more unusual than 192 MB of RAM and a 30GB hard drive (single partition), and do an easy install of Jaguar without a hitch. It rebooted and is running fine. Actually it is surprisingly responsive. He's not using it for anything more than learning his way around the OS and playing around with Networking, but, still, I was impressed after reading about the hoops people jumped through to do exactly what he did.
Installing OS 10.2 on Beige G3
I have a Beige G3 with a 233Mhz processor and only the original 4GB hard drive. Ram Available is over 500MB. What can I do to Run OS 10.2+ on this machine. It sounds like it is possible. Is it worth it? Currently I am running 9.2.2. I have some issues with running an Excel program on the 9.2.2 OS Version. The Version for OSX has no issues in running the same program. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, exactly the same set of problems with installang 10.2 on my rev. A beige G3 (w/ Newer G4/466).

I also got the Black Screen of Death during the installation process on my Beige G3 - I gave up because I couldn't be bothered unplugging everything and pulling cards out.
10.2 on Beige G3 - black screen
Just an interesting thing I noted.... Jaguar is still up and running after 48hrs continuous - clicking on "About This Mac" shows me that I have 10.2.6 running with 384MB of RAM, which is correct - however, when I run the Apple System Profiler by clicking on the "More Info" button - all the details of the installed Ram modules and total memory isn't there - just nothing..... no big deal I guess - it's still running after all and love the fact that all my Macs are now using Rendezvous to talk to each other :-)

I had exactly this problem. Halfway through the first install disk the screen went black even though the second time around I moved the cursor every few minutes. The second time, I left the box alone for another 40 minutes and came back to discover that the first disk had installed anyway.
10.2 on Beige G3 - black screen
Exactly the same symptoms, had to take out all but one (1) 128MB RAM chip to get past the "Black Screen of Death". But that worked well. Also on my machine, revision A upgraded to a Sonnet 500 G3, I can not install more than one OS X system, one system installed on an ATA 66 Acard; OK, another system on another HD connected to another channel on the Acard will boot once, once only, it gets corrupted immediately. Saw something about this on an Apple forum once, but I forget where that was.

I just got through fighting this one. I have been struggling with this for over a week, ever since 10.2.6 was installed on my system. (I've actually probably been suffering side effects from this for quite some time).

Installing OS 10.2 on Beige G3
I'm reading this thread months after the fact, after I had the exact same problem: a hang on the 10.2.3 install disk when trying to put it on a beige g3. I finally got things to work by putting an ide card into the g3 and plugging its main drive into it. (I used one of the old Ultratek 66 RAID cards, but I imagine just about anything would do). So I guess that lends at least some credence to the OF script being corrupt.

Installing OS 10.2 on Beige G3
I finally got 10.2 to install on a beige G3 266 DT, on a 7.1 gig partition. That was the only partition size it would install on. I must've repartitioned that drive twenty times until I was able to get a green arrow from the installer. The drive is a 60g Seagate Barracuda. Runs smooth as silk with an OEM G3 zif from a B+W 450, clocked at 455mhz, 70mhz bus, and 35mhz pci bus. |
