Re: Mac OS 10.3 on a G4

[Glenn Schunemann]

Ah yes, I love this "problem". When the drive with OS X on it was  
formatted in Disk Utility the "Install OS 9 Disk Driver" was not  
checked. Hence, no drive on desktop in OS 9. Guess I may be assuming a  
little here. Which formatting utility did you use? Drive setup in OS 9  
should have made the drive visible in OS 9. Did you format it from the  
OS X CD? That would explain it then.

See step #6 of my page:
<http://www.schunemann.com/~glenn/help/os_troubleshooting/ 
os_10.2_disk_utility/index.html>

These are screen shots of 10.2 Disk Utility, but it's the same as 10.3.
You can get back to OS X by rebooting and holding down the "x" key.

problem is,
when I go to the "Startup Disk" control panel in OS 9, the Panther  
system
folder on the auxiliary drive is not recognized. In fact, the second  
drive
doesn't appear on the desktop after the Mac boots into OS 9. How do I  
get
the Mac, while running in OS 9, to give me the option of booting into  
the
Panther OS that is installed on the second drive? Is a software update  
to OS
9.2.2 on the original drive necessary?
Thanks,
