I have a Wallstreet with OSX on one partition and OS9.2 on the other. It opens in OSX. I have not used my Wallstreet in a while and have forgotten how to get my Wallstreet to open in OS9.2. Could anyone please refresh my memory on how to do this?
If you ARE using XPostFacto (as you should be in my opinion), then you hold the Option key and it will start in OS 9 for only that one boot. If you want it to continue to always start in OS 9 as default you need to open XPostFacto and select the OS 9 partition in XPostFacto. Remember, when using XPostFacto NEVER use Apple Startup Disk, ALWAYS use XPostFacto as a replacement for Apple Startup disk in BOTH OS 9 & OS X (XPF is carbon and runs in both, but I normally only launch XPF from OS 9 because XPF is slightly less stable in OS X).
If you're NOT using XPostFacto, then you open Apple Startup Disk and select the OS 9 partition and restart. I don't believe the firmware in the Wallstreet supports using the "9" key and the "X" key at startup which most of the "new world" Macs with flash firmware support, so this means you must use Apple Startup Disk.
