Re: Can't get back to OS X after booting in OS 9

[Brian Christmas]

G'day from Oz, Richard

I've sent you the old System Disk selector, which I've been advised might allow re-booting into Jag.

I've got it sitting on my desktop in 9.2.2, but haven't tested it yet, so would appreciate you letting me know if it works.

The other advice I've had is this...

Brian, do you happen to know whether Jaguar simply needs the boot location? By going into the open firmware menu, you can get this information. Type:

printenv boot-device <return>

It gives the current and default values. For example, my current is at ide0/@0:9 when I enter this command. I keep this written down. It has saved me on at least on occasion when this value was messed up. I went to OF and typed:

setenv boot-device ide0/@0:9 <return>

To do the equivalent of a power off reboot, type:

reset-all <return>

The computer should restart with the proper boot value. So I am wonder whether this would solve the problem you describe with Jaguar and resetting PRAM? To get to the OF screen, startup holding down the Cmd-Opt-O-F keys.

As well, there's supposed to be several versions of third party StartUp Disk control panels that are written to boot Jag from a G4 Zif, but I haven't been able to find them.

Regards

Santa
