Hi Justin,

In that case, I can confirm that BETA3 boots and installs fine on my G5 (I
think it's either 8,1 or 3,1. It's the last of the iMac's without iSight)

I am having some issues with 10-CURRENT at present, but I've been using my
BETA3 media as recovery while I try to get 10 working again, and aside from
sometimes not firing up the installer, all seems well.

I'll try to find your other thread.
