   BeOS on Mac Powerbook (Pre-G3)?

   Hi,   
      
   I know that officially Mac Powerbooks were never supported, and that BeOS   
   never worked on Apple machines that came natively with a G3.   
   But I have a Powerbook 3400c (240 MHz PPC 603e) that I'd like to continue to   
   use, but Mac OS 9 is just too buggy and Mac OS X is not an option in this   
   case.   
   So: Does anyone know if it's possible to get BeOS (I have a R5 Pro CD I   
   never used) working on such a machine? Any hacks/workarounds (similar   
   desktop systems were supported)?   
      
   TIA
