Can you be more specific? You only installed yaboot on the FW drive, right? What didn't work? You need to hold down the option key at boot- this will present a UI with the available boot paritions that were detected. You can use the mouse or arrow keys (or even an Apple Remote!) to pick the partition. You can also use one of the system preference panes to set the default boot partition to that drive. _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
