Also if you're booting 9 a 180 GB limit is in effect.
I once had a Quicksilver 733 Mhz with an extra Seagate internal hard drive. I made the Seagate my main drive because I did not like hearing the constant clatter from the IBM drive when it was busy. Both drives were bootable drives. I can still see a vision of the screen on my iBook coming up with all the three volumes on the "original" IBM drive in yellow icons. Never did the Seagate main drive show as the target. Maybe this plays into the jumper idea. In October 2006, this list, including Bruce, suggested the reason, but I never bothered to change jumpers. I just used the iBook as the target.
