Has anyone got any ideas what you would need to get a Blue & White working? The install image for Lepard craps out right at the kernel boot stage on the B&W I have claiming there's no driver for the machine (a fair point as there likely isn't!). I'd dearly love to get the B&W running |Leopard so I can use it as a Leopard server

Do you have it installed and it won't run or you can't get it to install at all? I know there are at least two checks that the installer does. One for a G3 that refuses to install if it finds one and another for a CPU speed below 867mhz, which also refuses to install if it is found. You can disable these, which is how many people managed to get it to install on slower G4 machines, but it won't run on a G3 at all since it requires Altivec. I do not believe you can circumvent that. The fact that the B&W is not bootable from USB/FW external drives and does not support target disc mode also makes it difficult as one of the popular workarounds is to install it to an external drive from a supported machine, connecting to an unsupported machine then cloning the install to the internal HD and another is to install it using TDM. The B&W is really handicapped when it comes to trying to do a Leopard install, even if you have a G4 upgrade. The PCI video is also going to be a problem unless you plan to use it as a headless server.
