After updating Jaguar to Panther then to 10.3.2 I can not get back to Panther after booting to 9.2.2.
I have been having a similar problem for a couple of weeks now, and am still working on it. Originally I though it resulted from a Desktop Rebuild, but have since figured out that it must be something else.
I do get the black command screen. I do a "fsck -f", which tells me all is well. "reboot" just gets me back to the same command screen.
Try booting into Open Firmware (hold down Command + Option + O + F keys at startup) Then do the following: #1- at the prompt type "reset-nvram" (without the quotes) #2 - Press Return #3 - at the prompt type "reset-all" (without the quotes) #4 - press return. The system should restart. If it does not, type "mac-boot" (without the quotes) and press Return.
When you reboot into Panther, be sure to go into the System Preferences and launch Classic. The system will update the OS 9 partition.
I have a B&W G3/400 with stock UW2 SCSI (one volume, upon which reside both OS's), 640 MB ram, 160 GB LaCie D2 firewire HD. Otherwise, performance is quite good with either Jaguar or Panther.
My problematic system is a B&WG3/400 too. Don't know if these machines have that problem in general, or if my problem is just me.
Be sure to check out your System Extensions when you get over into 9.2 again. I found that the launch of Classic inside Panther did not completely update my extensions. Most notable was the Start Up Disk Control Panel. I had to launch Classic a second time.
If you still have problems booting back to Panther from OS 9 try setting the System Extensions in 9 to "All Off" and try again.
I am still working on my system so I definitely don't have all your answers. But, that is where I am at this point.
