No dice. Won't boot.
What I do is go to System Preference-> Startup Disk and then choose the
OS 9 partition with the OS 9 start folder.
I then reboot and it reboots into a gray screen. I then have to spend
the next half-hour to an hour trying to convince it to reboot into the
Mac OS X.2 install CD I have and then I have to reinstall OS X. (BTW,
the LCD Backlight will not work when doing this. Loads of fun.)
I'd really like to resell this computer at least at the same price I
bought it at, maybe more, and I think I would be able to do so if I
could 1) get the backlight working and/or 2) get OS 9 to dual boot on it.
I could really use the money in order to look into upgrading my GF's
Pismo to use iSight (if possible) or just paying down some credit cards
before I go to law school.
Does anyone have ANY ideas on what I can do???
It's such a lovely machine, I hate to have to sell it ... but the money
man calls. :-(
Sincerely,
Pacer the Loon
It might be that OS 9 doesnt understand the unix filesystem ? The
hard drive is formatted as a single OS X partition ?
