I've got a beige G3, running 10.2.8.
Drives on my ATA133 (OWC's SIIG ATA-133) card show up in System Profiler and Disk Utility as SCSI. Does that mean that I'm not bound by the 8GB limit on those drives, or is that restricted to 'real' scsi disks?
I tried it last night with my new 120gb drive, but while the Startup disk control pane let me choose it, it ended booting up in OS 9 ( which it does when it gets confused.) In the Startup drive control panel in OS 9 only the 8gb-based startup disk showed at all. However if it's supposed to work it's entirely possible that there's some other problem here...
Alternate question...the reason I want to do this is because I got a DVD-rw/CD-rw drive, and writing to a DVD-R drive requires 4.7GB free on the boot drive.
Does OS X put its temporary disk images in /tmp ? If so I can move /tmp to the big disk and symlink it back to the boot drive...or can you specify where OSX should put those temporary images...
