>2. Disk Partitioning: I've presently partioned my 40G drive into a just less than 8 for X (yes the "1st" per previous posts on this forum) and 3 others (1 for OS 8, 1 for OS 9 and 1 for "Data"). A) Will X load on a partion created by 9...
Yes, it should work fine. Curiously, the 8GB partition limit seems to be an installer limitation and not an OS X limitation. That is, you can install OS X on a large partition (greater than 8GB) on another Mac like a Pismo, then swap the hard drive into your Wallstreet and it should work fine. I'm pretty sure I read that at either Xlr8yourmac.com or on the g-list. This is what people are saying about beige G3s... I haven't tried it with my Wallstreet, yet....
Although I did not do exactly that, my experience seems to suggest that it probably wouldn't work. My Wallstreet refuses to boot from a partition which is (at least partly) outside the first 8 GB, even though it has a perfectly good system (in fact, an exact duplicate of the first partition, created with Carbon Copy Cloner - something that I have had success with on both a B&W G3 and a Powerbook G4).
