Update 9.2 to OSX G4/400 problem

[hennessymac]

History= I had reason to buy second user machine to fix my own G4/733, memory chips and a DVD player. Now I have a machine running 9.2.

Problem= I ran the osx 10.3 install cd 1 and it eventually errors at 84% advising clean the disk or see if its scratched, (its not)....as I am unable to install with the disks I now have an idea that I will copy the image of my running osxmachine and use the install disk to copy the image to the slower machine. Can I have a simple set of instructions to do this at your convenience. Thanks John

Have you applied any necessary firmware updates for that G4 before installing OS X? If it needs it, you're going to have to do it from OS 9 (not from classic mode, but booted into OS 9). Check the link below to see what firmware you'll need for your Mac.
