I am not so sure about that...
in Apple's web-pages I found that B&W G3s machines will not boot from
a FireWire...

document may be old enough!
Did you try your suggestion in such a machine?
If so, let me know please and I will also!

I actually tried booting from a Ti Desktop when I came across the same
problem. The firmware would not recognize my external firewire drive as
a bootable partition. I had repair the permissions on it before it
could do so.

Hi there,
The problem is because of the permissions on the system files on
the FW drive. It is an easy fix.
1. Boot into OS X from the machine.
2. Open up Disk Utitlity and select the partition with the OS
installed which you want to boot from.
3. Do a Verify and Repair Disk Permissions
Once this is completed you should be able to boot from your external
firewire drive.
You will have to install the Developer tools after booting from the
external FW drive.

Hola!
I am in a PowerMac G3 (B&W) trying to install the dev-tools in an
external FireWire but:
1. I cannot boot from it (may be an OpenFirmware isue; i have
1.1f4), so I installed OSX (10.2.3) from its .mpkg files.
2. When I try to install the Developer.mpkg, the installer does not
alow me to select such a device (it says that it most have installed
OSX... but it has; not yet configure, becouse of the bootable isue
>> 1.)
So two questions comes to me:
1. Is 1.1f4 the latest open firmware for this machine?
2. If so, is there any way I can "fool" the installer to acomplish
the instalation??
May be one more:
Is this too vizarre?
Any help will be apreciated
