| 10:14.03 | bedouin | Hi there. I have an iMac G3 that just died running Debian. I have another iMac in storage and I'm wondering if I can just swap HDs? I seem to remember there being some sort of firmware modification that had to be made for the bootloader when Installed Linux, but I can't really remember? |
| 10:16.51 | bedouin | And also, could I swap into a G3 or G4 PowerMac? |
| 10:19.06 | pahartik | bedouin: It should work... One probably needs to modify "boot-device" environment variable in OpenFirmware console |
| 10:19.42 | bedouin | The other imac has a dead display :) Not sure if you can display open firmware on an external display |
| 10:20.33 | bedouin | can probably grab a G4 powermac off of craigslist more easily though |
| 14:22.11 | bedouin | hit it with my fist... now it's booting |
| 14:23.10 | bedouin | eh |
| 14:23.11 | bedouin | perhaps not |

| 17:20.34 | bedouin | ah.. the spare started smoking the minute I plugged it in lol |
| 17:23.30 | pahartik | bedouin: I got another PowerMacintosh 9600 and it worked for two or three weeks for experiments with Linux and NetBSD... Then once when connecting power cable, PSU zapped itself |
| 17:23.45 | bedouin | this tangerine had a good 11 year run |
| 17:23.59 | bedouin | non stop nonetheless as my server |
| 17:24.02 | bedouin | can't complai |
| 17:24.17 | bedouin | calling around to find a B&W g3 |
| 17:24.21 | bedouin | or something |

| 20:02.13 | bedouin | just got a 500mhz g3 |

| 20:02.21 | bedouin | no problems |

| 23:48.50 | bedouin | Any idea why no machines can connect to nettalk after a hard drive was transplanted from one mac to another? Authentication goes alright, then things just hang |
