Thank you! I had put my G3 iMac in storage after I could not get Arch
installed. I tried your guide and it (almost) worked perfectly. I did
have a problem with my initrd. For some reason, the shell script that
determines what type of filesystem to mount as the root fs wasn't working
properly, so I edited it manually and re-gzipped the .img and used it and
now it works perfectly.
I'm very pleased with the performance of the 400mhz G3 with 320MB RAM. I
still need to figure out what I'm going to do with the imac, but at least
I have it working!
