I downloaded, burned and booted this on a Blue&White G3 PowerMac.

When booted with the default (just <CR> at the "boot:" prompt) the  
monitor showed an internal diagnostic "No Signal" and went into power  
saving mode.

When booted with "expert video=ofonly" at the "boot:" prompt, the  
screen went red and flashed back and forth red with a black screen  
with the error message "libgcc.so.1 must be installed for  
pthread_cancel to work"

Hope this helps!
