I experienced FireWire problems with 10.3.7. Specifically, I had a bootable
backup of my 10.3.6 system. When I overwrote that with my 10.3.7 system, the
backup was no longer bootable. I've since solved that problem thanks to
members of a different OS X list.

I have also experienced slow boot times with 10.3.6 and 10.3.7. It takes me
nearly two minutes from chime to operating mode on my 600MHz G3 iBook and it
little more than a minute previously. The slowdown occurs after the Welcome
to OS X screen has disappeared and before the menulets have appeared. This
is with autologin turned on and startup items disabled.
