The Beige and OS X are funny about the EIDE buses. It usually taked more than one PRAM reset, by Cmd-Opt-P-R, NOT by, say, Tech Tools, to correctly reset the PRAM and to correctly reset the EIDE buses on a Beige. Try 10 (ten) CMD-Opt-P-Rs in a row, and I'd bet your EIDE chip and the channels attached thereto are correctly reset, and you will be able to boot from your EIDE-attached OS 9. -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
