iMac g3 boot from dvd
I have an imac g3 from 1998 I am trying to wipe the hard drive as I got the computer from a recycling place and am trying to reinstall mac os 9.2.2 on it. I cannot boot from the dvd. I only have a Microsoft keyboard and mouse. I have tried the “alt” key and on a forum someone said to use the “ alt” and “r” key. Nothing has worked so far. When I try those keys it boots up from the hard drive. Instead of going to boot menu.

Tell us about the installation disk you are trying to use. What color is it? If it is gray is there a part number on it in the lower left hand area?

The disc is gray. It says imac mac os 9 install. The part number I believe is 691-3783-A.
