What version of OS 9 are you referring to? I have an older Server G4, also with three internal hard drives and multiple partitions. When I first installed Panther (directly, not upgrade from Jaguar), I could no longer boot into any of the OS 9 drives or partitions, all with 9.2.2 and numerous important applications. The symptoms were similar to yours. In my random search on several OS X-related forums, I somehow learned that 9.2.2 was meant for the Classic environment within OS X, and not for parallel standalone drives or partitions. Out of desperation I retreated to 9.2.1 by reinstallation. Voila, all the problems are gone. Now the 10.3.5 and 9.2.1 partitions co-exist nicely. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
