Related problems with early iMacs
It's not quite the same, but I discovered some related problems with early (revision A) iMacs, and they're not as well documented. So by way of information, hopefully this will help someone sometime...
Related problems with early iMacs
A similar problem affects same later iMacs too. In an iMac that came with an 8GB or smaller drive it seems the system has to be within the first 8GB. It may only affect Mac OS 9.x.
A friend of mine had installed a large hard drive in his Lime iMac. It worked fine for months, but after doing a clean install of 9.1, his computer booted into Open Firmware with an error message.
The solution was to reformat & partition the drive, and reinstall the system on the first 8GB partition.
This is dealt with in Apple's Knowledge Base article #25249 'iMac: Gray or White Screen After Hard Drive Upgrade.'
