I have a G3 blue and white . . . had OS 9 and am trying to upgrade to OS X.
Every time I try to install from the CD, the computer hangs after getting to a certain point - same point every time. I had given up a long time ago, and recently tried again. I was told to check firmware, which is fine. I can copy all contents of the CD, so I don't think that's the problem. I did apparently a dumb thing . . . I copied the cd to the hard drive, switched startup disks to that folder to try to install from there instead of the cd since it stops. After starting up, the computer starts from that folder and acts like it's going to install, but gets hung up on the screen where you select your region. I though there was a certain key combo to hold as the computer starts up to get it to start from the HD again, but can't get it to do anything. How do I get the stupid thing to startup on 9 again? and any suggestions as to how to get OS X installed?
