Re: Darwin 1.3.1 on beige G3 won't boot : OF says "no bootable HFS partition"

Yes, Darwin 1.3.1 appears not to work on Beige G3's. I have not been
able to get it booting, and several other people have been unsuccessful
as well. There was one report of success, but there was no indication
of what that person did that we didn't do.
