That may explain the trouble I'm having with a 60 GB drive in my
Wally with XPostfacto. maybe I need to use the drive setup on my OS9
install disk?

I wonder if you may have been right with the above comment, and
whether the problem/solution was solely attributable to the bad power
supply.
To my understanding, XPostFacto works by emulating a new world
machine at critical points during the boot process. I found following
links which give some insight into the intricacies of old and new
world booting.

I note that you did the original 60GB drive setup by CCC from a
TIBook, a new world machine. Perhaps BootX info on the CC'd volume
tries to access the wrong locations for an old world machine?
Was the 80 GB drive also initialized on the TIBook?

Thanks for all the suggestions from the onset of my Wallstreet Tiger
XPF project. A lot of listers answered my call for assistance and I
used something from everyone.
I finally got my Wally 300MHz runing Tiger via XPF it has a 80GB
drive with 3 partitions. I can boot the 60 GB with the helper
partition. Now I need the stuff to run DVDs on it.
The biggest problem I finally realized was the power adapter I was
using on my external Card Bus Firewire card to make up the
internal drive with was too low power and was making crap CCCs and I
could never make up a bootable large partition, all weekend was
lost. I didn't want to be stuck with a small Tiger drive, and even
though i could boot the external what a treat that would look like
at the library:-)
But after a shot in the dark with a 12v 1.5 amp adapter, Voila! I
found I was using a 5v adapter. The card doesn't state the voltage
requirement so the lights were on but nobody home. That's why the
darn thing was taking 5 hrs to CCC the big 60 GB volume.
The machine is really upgraded now.
So the internal 80 GB Fujitsu drive is as follows.
1. Xpostfacto Tiger OS9 helper =8 GB bootable
2. Tiger and OS9.2.2 =60 GB bootable
3. OS8.6 =6 GB bootable
