There's something I should've mentioned earlier: this computer is one
of the ones which came equipped with a Zip drive, so the CD-ROM drive
is on an ATA bus with that instead of the hard drive. Maybe this is
it? Perhaps I could try switching the CD-ROM drive to the hard drive's
ATA bus? First, I'd need to find out how to get the drive cage out of
the way, so that I can get to the primary hard drive; any idea how to?

I think that is a beige MT, right? I only have one of those and it
doesn't have anything installed in it at the moment, but I know all of
the DT models I have had the ZIP drive setup that way also and I think
they are setup as a slave on the secondary IDE channel, so that should
not matter. The CD-ROM and the primary HD should both be set as
master. OS 9 will boot from a slave drive on the IDE channel, but X
will not. Plus the CD-ROM drive must be set as master to be bootable
also.
