HOW TO GET OUT OF TARGET DISK MODE INSTALL
it also took less time to install because it didn't rely on the speed of the disk drive. Then i backed up my smallest partition of my internal hard drive into an external hard drive, restored the internal drive using the disk image of tiger, booted up from that drive and voila, i could install tiger no problem. rather than lug it to my brother's house and set it up as a firewire target disk, i made a disk image of the dvd at his house then FTPed it to myself (we both have broadband, it didn't end up being that bad at all).
HOW TO GET OUT OF TARGET DISK MODE MAC
It's kind of a long way around, but i only have (gasp!) one mac in my house (mine) and it's a clunky old g3 imac with a cd-rw drive. I may play around with it when I have some time.
HOW TO GET OUT OF TARGET DISK MODE DRIVER
I know that in order to get my orb drive to work with the older versions (10.2 & 10.3) that I had to remove an adaptec driver (don't immediately know which one it is since my G4 pmac is booted into linux at the moment). Seth, the person responsible for the above blog, solved it by removing the adaptec card, however I'm wondering now, since tiger is installed onto a partition of the G4, whether the base system can be modified to allow tiger to finish booting. The issue with the old G4s is that it will not boot with an adaptec scsi card installed, see: At some point I was beginning to believe in those Phillip Pullman cuts in the fabric of reality that I had somehow pushed my maglite.
I had it in my hand while talking, and sometime while I was getting more and more angry, I put it down (it ended up in a drawer.closed) and consequently became totally lost. An interesting artifact of that experience is that I temporary lost my maglite and took an hour to find it this morning. Well, I've cooled off after the episode with the Apple Support Rep. I think of this experience as evidence of the progressive microsoftification of Apple.

In the end, I had to figure out how to install tiger onto the partition that subsequently would not boot. It was a bit hard to convince the guy that when only 9Gig of it was allocated for the mac world of the total 130Gig of hard drive space I had for that machine, and the rest was for linux, that I was using it as a mac machine and not just a test bed for determining whether tiger was going to screw me around. Note: when calling Apple support, the support person was more interested in determining if I had multiple versions of tiger running rather than solving the problem. there's a distinction between saying it can run, and it *does* run. So I have to say that Apple needs to revise their claim of tiger running on *all* G4 AGPs, or at least say in advance for it to run on those machines, it needs blahblahblah, i.e. Doing it your way of booting off the dvd mounted on my mini from the G4 hung during boot, and installing it onto a G4 partition from my mini hung after rebooting subsequent to the install (exactly the same type, i.e. For the less prepared there are nondestructive repartitioning programs out there. In my case I had purposefully left a few gigabytes of unpartitioned space on my firewire drive for just such an occasion so I was able to use pdisk to add partitions being very careful not to remove any existing partitions I wanted to keep. Note that whatever partition you use for the destination will be completely erased so you may need to first repartition the disk to give yourself an empty 3-4 GB partition. I then blessed it and was able to hold down Option at startup to boot from it and install Tiger normally. Therefore, I created a few gigabyte partition on an external firewire drive and used asr to dump the contents of the downloaded DMG onto that partition. My main problem with this method is that I like to be able to use my PowerBook when installing Tiger on my test machine. Apple did periodically send out pressed DVDs but they were usually so far behind it was hardly worth it.
I had to do this with the developer seeds as my Tiger test machine has a DVD-RAM and could not read the DVD-R discs I burned from my PowerBook 17.
