   To the best of my knowledge, BeOS will not run on any Apple laptop.   
   BeOS runs on the PCI Macs. The X5XX series of Macs is your best bet for   
   Be on PPC hardware. Be seems to work well with most G3 upgrade process   
   cards, but it does not run on any of the PowerMac G3 models. Be like   
   most alternate OSes require that the Mac begin its boot process as a   
   Mac and then takes over at some point and loads itself.   
      
   I had Be installed on an IBM ThinkPad 600 and it did quite well on that laptop.
