It wouldn't be a problem for me to temporarily install OS 9 for the purposes of installing Panther with XPostFacto. I have disks for 9.1 and 9.2. However, what I can't tell is if I would have to leave it on the machine in order to successfully use 10.3.
Theoretically not, but...
It occasionally happens that you need to hard reset the machine. At least in my case (Wallstreet Powerbook) the machine will definitely not boot into OS X after a hard reset.
Greetings to Berlin,
I presume you mean a forced restart by keyboard shortcut or by pressing a little button on the machine. And after that the boot process seems unable to find the correct startup disk and so you must boot into OS 9 to set the blessed system folder.
It may be possible to use an emergency boot CD with OS 9 and XPF installed, I never tried this.
One reason why I don't want to have OS 9 on this box is that it messes up the boot process on an irregular basis. Ever since making it an OS X only machine, startup is very solid. If I have to Fix Permissions or Reset Password, then my OS 9 Installer CD is fine for re-selecting the boot disk (and it sticks that way). Just have to slip in the CD very quickly after the Restart process has commenced. Anyway, I'll probably find out this weekend.
Thanks for further insights,
