Hey all,
I installed Jaguar on a Firewire HD today in order to be able to have a system
and appz to complete
some tasks at work. Unfortunately, the lab where I am working is still stuck
in OS 9.
Anyway, after running SW Update to 10.2.6, the system hangs during the
"directory services" and
"application services" boot up processes... No success resulted from
verifying the permissions or
fixing the drive from the install CD. The FW Drive is readable when booting
from the other Jaguar
installation on the internal HD...
Does anyone have any suggestions before I wipe this clean and start from
scratch?
iMac G3 500 Mhz (Indigo) 1024 MB RAM 60 GB External FW Drive (Maxtor in a Macally Enclosure)
Thanks in advance!

Had this problem recently after cloning my HD to a Firewire disk and it turned
out to be a NetInfo database problem, here's the fix taken from Carbon Copy Cloner FAQ ...
Boot from the FireWire drive into single-user mode (hold down command+s during boot). When prompted, type:
fsck -y
[repeat until it no longer says that the Filesystem was modified]
Type the following,press return after each line (spaces are VERY important )
mount -uw / cd /var/db/ rm .AppleSetupDone cd netinfo mv local.nidb local.nidb.bak exit
As the system boots, you will get the Apple Setup Assistant. Enter your name, password, etc (be sure to use the same short name). You should be able to get in just fine now.
