Powermac B&W G3 install status and questions

[Richard DeLaurell]

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--
