Here is the inittab and ltsc.conf Shawn sent me to get G3's working with
the X -query option (since nicknamed chubby clients).  Just load Yellow
Dog on the local hard drive and modify the inittab to match the one seen
here.  Then pull whatever changes you want out of the lts.conf (I think
all you will need is to be sure SOUND_DAEMON is set to "nasd" to get
sound working.  I have not been successful running sound in the Bondi
iMac yet (also haven't had much time to tinker) but this will easily get
you working clients.
