A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
OK Guys,
A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
OS9 suffer from the same issue as OSX. OSX installer is just smart enough to tell/forbid you from installing outside the first 8GB. Essentially OS9 is doing the something as this hint. If by any means OS9 ends up outside the first 8GB it will fail as OSX would.

I can verify this other users comment. While OS 9 will install on a drive larger then 8 GB in a beige G3, if the OS ends up outside of that 8 GB, it will and does fail to load.

Something I don't understand about using XPostFacto... perhaps somebody can explain it to me. The Mac OS 10.3 installer CD won't actually BOOT on a Beige G3. So how does one actually reach a point where they can install it without doing what the original poster did, which was pull the drive and stick it in another machine? I only have my machine, and I keep trying XPostFacto according to the directions, but since I can't actually get the installer to come up in the first place, I pretty much get nowhere. |
