I had a hard drive in my Quicksilver that had 9.2.2 on it, which was
useful for booting back into OS-9 when I needed to. I decided to
replace that drive with a bigger one, so I cloned all the contents of
the original hard drive onto a new, larger one, using Disk Utility's
Restore function. (I did this by putting the new, larger drive into the
Mac and setting the jumpers as a slave to the original drive, then
cloning from the master to the slave).
So, the larger drive is now a clone of the smaller one and has replaced
the smaller one inside the Mac, with its jumpers reset to master.
However, it won't boot back into 9 like the original one will. If I put
the original drive back in the Mac, I can once again boot into 9. Put
the clone in there, and it won't. What's up? Isn't a clone a clone? Why
won't it act cloney?
Don't I remember something about an OS-9 System folder needing to be
"blessed" or something before it will work? Is that what I need to do?
If so, I need to know the benediction, or whatever you're supposed to
do to it.
By the way this is a G4 Quicksilver 2002 running 10.3.9.
Any other thoughts on how I might get this drive to boot back into 9?
Thanks,
Tom
