Some people claim to have managed to boot from it - I didn't manage in days, like most users. There is a small extension program for Mac OS 9 to boot linux. Sorry, forgot the name... You can boot Mac OS 9, but nearly immediately it hands over to linux. This is not pretty, but IMHO the best way to handle linux on a beige G3. Interesting enough this problem does not occur on *older* machines, I am also running some 7200 and 7600. Newer machines aren't affected anyway, since they are "newworld".
