Hi Adrian, When booting the 32 bit version, it only gets as far as "Loading..." after selecting the installer option, the disk reads for a few moments then stops, hangs, and crashes to the OpenFirmware with an illegal address error that went by very fast as it just kept saying "Ok" over and over again. I can probably test on an actual 32 bit machine tonight if it will boot on an old world G3. I did verify the SHA sums and the disks validated successfully when burned.
Thanks for all the work you put into this, it's much appreciated.
