You don't say what machine you have, beige G3, B&W, G4, but it sounds like you have a G3. G3s don't support booting OS X from slave drives. Unless you use XPostFacto.

Could someone please give me a brief summary of the differences between the capabilities of a master drive and a slave drive?

I've got a slave drive that won't allow me to boot from an OSX install, but will allow booting from OS9. Could this be because it is designated as a slave?

TIA,
