You are correct to the best of my understanding...
the boot ROMs in the beige G3 are only going to display on
the mobo video... you must use the mobo video during install,
but once you've got linux installed, you can configure linux
to work on your other video output. The G3 will only boot an
MacOS9 system whereupon the Control Panel BootX vectors the
boot process off to your linux installation which then can
activate other video. Once that works, you can do away with
the old Apple video monitor.
