Specs on computer: Machine Type: Power Macintosh (Beige Desktop) G3, using the revision "A" logic board. Upgrades: * PowerLogix PowerForce G3 processor (ZIF, clocked to 500 MHz) * 256 MBs PC-100 RAM, 1 stick is 128, 2 are 64s. * 2 GB Quantum SCSI drive * 20 GB IBM Deskstar hard drive...

Here's my configuration (drive-wise): I use only 1 IDE device on this G3, and it runs off the first channel. The system also uses this to boot the OS. I use two SCSI devices on this G3; one is a drive reserved primarily for a file server (SCSI ID 6), and the other drive is my Apple 24X...

Burn the .img file. :)

I think the statement on ATI's support for RAGE-type products was misunderstood; here's their latest statement on RAGE type products and X: Taken from ATI's website at http://www.ati.com/na/pages/faq/mac/mac_osx_faq.html So it appears that, if you have a fairly recent ATI card, you should...
