You may need to do multiple Software Updates to get everything completely updated. Also for my configuration, it seems that I need to have the MacOS X CD inserted in my CD drive. It appears that the only consistent way to boot into MacOS X is to use the Startup Disk selector from the MacOS X CD (this is a different version than even the MacOS 9.1 one). If you run into problems, and you find that when it reboots your 2nd IDE/ATA chain (bus 1) doesn't show up at all, zap PRAM by holding down cmd-opt-P-R at boot. I installed it in my 2nd (3 GB) partition.

I only installed MacOS 9.1 after MacOS X.

(Once you have 10.0 installed, you should install 10.1 - it works much better.) I have successfully installed OS X 10.2.1 on my Beige G3/233, and I find the performance acceptable for routine tasks like reading email and surfing the web.Īlso please note, I did this a long time ago and I no longer use the Beige G3, so I don't have much knowledge any moreĮven older models than the Beige G3 may be supported using Other World Computing's XPostFacto.
