Hello,
First of all, I'm new to the forums and to the whole world of Mac's. I just got my first Mac, a second hand Beige G3. This thing had Mac OS X 10.2.8 installed on it, but it was just to slow to work. Because of that I installed Mac OS 9.0.4 (I plan on upgrading it to 9.2.2 as soon as I get my USB card).
The big problem now is that when it boots, it takes 30 seconds to start the monitor, and then another 30 seconds in which it says "Cannot find a bootable HFS+ volume".
After that it does boot Mac OS 9, but I was wondering if I could at least get rid of the "Cannot find a bootable HFS+ volume" message.
Any help is appreciated.
