Maybe you could do a similar thing for your Panther application? But
you would already need another partition for Panther ... maybe add
another SATA drive?
My Dual 1.25GHz G4 MDD PowerMac arrived from the eBay seller with
MacOSX10.2.1 and MacOS9.2.2 installed on the same partition, which I
thought was strange, but it worked. I later installed 10.5.8 on a
separate partition and MorphOS2.7 on yet another partition. When
using the boot with the Option key depressed function to get to the
boot selector screen, it would not show the MacOS9.2.2 option to boot
from. Only the MacOSX10.2.1, MacOSX10.5.8 and MorphOS2.7 boot
partitions would show up. To boot into MacOS9.2.2 I would have to
choose it from the Startup Disk option in the System Preferences.
Now I am in the process of setting up separate hard drives for each
OS, instead of partitions on one drive. Since MorphOS2.7 is so small
and efficient, it will easily fit on my 6gb hard drive pulled from a
G3 iMac and have tons of room for files and applications. I will put
MacOS9.2.2 on a 120gb drive and MacOSX 10.5.8 on my 160gb drive. I
might even set up Ubuntu PPC 10.10 on yet another hard drive, since
the MDD G4 PowerMac easily holds 4 hard drives, but that might be just
a waste of space and extra heat producing hardware since I hardly ever
use Linux.
