Did you install 9.10 from a fresh install or upgrade from a previous
version? I cannot get my patch stick to load the 9.10 installer. I've
created it identical to my 9.04 loader (sdb1 hfs+ recovery partition
and sdb2 is the extracted cd image modified to be syslinux vice
isolinux) which works. The only visible difference I can see is the
9.10 initrd is lz compressed vice gz. But I haven't dug deeper into it
yet.
