Have you tried inserting the OS 9 CD, starting up from *that* (by holding down the C key, or selecting the CD as startup disk), then using the control panel on that system to select the OS9 drive you actually want?This was the one and only way I could get my WallStreet (running Panther, which was unsupported though it installed fine with XPostFacto) to reboot into OS9. Best, Victoria Snip By the way, the only way the option key thing works is if you have different OS's on separate drives. For instance, OS X on drive one, and OS 9 on drive two.
