Is your Mac a New World Mac or an Old World Mac? Old World Macs absolutely must have a Mac OS 9 partition to boot any OS other than Mac OS.

If yours is a New World Mac then you should be able to install BSD or Linux directly without any kludging.

My beige PowerMac G3 is an Old World Mac. I don't know about the PowerMac G4s.
