Michelle, Thanks for the reply.
I do have the internal drive partitioned and the OS's on separate partitions. I was told since my posting (by Laurent Daudelin) that the Lombard's firmware may be too old to support the option-booting. When I installed OS 9.2 and tried to run the firmware updater it said that no update was needed. I am going to check the Apple website documents on firmware.
