I added a new HD to this Tangerine iBook (300 MHz G3) and was having trouble booting to my Mac OS 9 CD. Just for kicks, I tried netbooting it to reformat the HD before taking it apart again to check connections. When I saw its "About this Mac" window, I just had to share it with the 'Fritter.
Now remember, folks: Tiger requires 256MB RAM and built-in FireWire to install. Here we're running on a machine with 96MB RAM and no FireWire. I did not install XPostFacto or any other third-party "helper" program: just hooked the machine up to our network and held down "N" at boot.
This actually beats ol' [url=http://www.applefritter.com/node/17794#comment-35519]Frankenberry[/url] for running Mac OS X out-of-spec.
