You can't install the firmware without OS 9.. but you can get OS 9 for cheap on eBay, and other resellers.

you cannot install the firmware without os 9. I installed os 9 off of a cd. installed the firmware. Then installed mac os 10.4 on the imacs. Everything worked. I installed os 9 and the firmware upgrades on the power mac but when I go to do the mac os 10.4 install it hangs right after I select the language. I;ve tried internal and external dvd-roms as well as cd and dvd install disk. I get the same result.
