I got an old Mac G3 (350 mhz 256mb RAM)  that was running OS 10.2.8 ,
but I formatted it, trying to install Yellow Dog. I currently have NO
operating system on my machine. While attempting to install YDL, during
the partitioning stage, I select auto partition, and it locks and
restarts saying I do not have a Mac bootstrap partition. I am unsure how
to fix this problem, and if there even is a way to fix it. I bought the
mac used and have no discs for OS X, and I heard that it was necessary
to have a mac os on the machine to boot YDL?? I do not want to run mac
os, but if I have to install it into a small partition and dual boot the
two I would accept that. If that is the only possibility, is there a
cheap way to get an older mac os that would allow me to boot a linux
distro (preferably ydl)?? Thanks in advance if you have any
suggestions!!
