I am working from memory here, but I believe your boot command should look something like this: boot hd:#,\\:tbxi # is (I believe) the disk partition you're booting from; that should be the location of your tbxi file. This would be if you placed the tbxi file in the base directory on the #th partition of your 1st hard drive. As I say, this is from memory since my G3 died quite a while ago. I am sorry if this is not helpful. Good luck-- Richard DeLaurell On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 8:48 AM, Super Biscuit <super_bisquit@yahoo.com>wrote: > I've been able to install 8.0 powerpc to a G3 with 384M RAM. > Apologies beforehand, there are a few questions. > What is the open firmware command for booting? > Mac-boot repeats a bad partition error. > Should I have created a /boot partition? > Currently, only a base system is installed. > > Will it be better to use an older release? > > If you need the system stats, I can post them.
