Okay.  Two weeks ago, I bought a G4 MDD (dual 1.42) from the online 
Apple store.  These are the discs that came with it:

   (1)  Apple Hardware Test - Power Mac G4 (v2.0.1)
   (2)  Power Mac G4 - Software Install and Restore (10.2.4)(DVD version 
1.0)
   (3)  Blank CD-R (Verbatim 700MB DataLifePlus)
   (4)  Bland DVD-R

My new G4 starts up just fine from disc #2

Hope that helps.
