I have a question I hope one of you can help me with. I have several beige G3's; one, a 300mhz dt, I'm using as a music server headless in my house. When I set it up, I bought a 60 gig drive, partitioned it 7.5 gigs for system and rest for storage, then used CCCloner to copy everything from the similar machine I use in my office that works great.

When I installed the new drive in the dt and turned it on, the monitor went to sleep and...nothing. I finally gave up and re-installed 10.2.6 on the 7.5 gig partition and got it working, but now it has a strange problem---when you turn it on, the monitor goes to sleep, then wakes up after a couple of minutes, then stays black for 3 or 4 minutes, then the system starts and seems to work okay. I'm guessing that my original cloned system woulda worked the same but I gave up before the 5 or so minutes that it takes to come alive.

The only clue I can think of is that when I cloned the two logical drives, I didn't think to un-check the "make bootable" option on the second drive. Is it maybe using all that black-screen time to try to decide which drive to boot from? If so, is there any way to change it without re-cloning the whole thing?

Thanks in advance,

Travis
