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--

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. It will have to be done through a Linux dmesg output.
