You can use thr command-line 'bless' command to bless a system folder so it's will boot. Do man bless in terminal, at the end is a command to bless a system folder for booting into OS X. You'll need to modify the command a bit to reflect the path to the System Folder on the FW drive. Also if you're not using an intel mac, you don't need the efi bit. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
