both an 8500 and a power tower pro with a g3/300 here. both booted
with no problems. the MESH SCSI controller might be getting in the way
hoever. i encountered that with another PT pro witha g3/400. you need
the g3/mesh patch possibly:

<http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/linux/dev/g3upgrade.html> :
"Booting from the internal SCSI bus"

set your output-device to whatever your video device is, and set your
input-device to kbd (use boot var. or system disk:
<http://simonraven.nuit.ca/macppc/files/>) and see if OF keeps whining
about "resetting SCSI Bus..." repeatedly.

if it is, then you need the patch (info grabbed from first URI).

and please use quik 2.1, it's got new stuff in it that should make it
much more usable. sarge's is updated to that version as of a few days
ago.

CC me if you have problems, i don't always read the ML.
