I have a 333 Strawberry iMac. Non-apple HD (actually it wont boot off of any of the OE drives from my "fleet" of beige boxes, but that's another story), partitioned into two volumes: OS 9 and OS X. Does the "hold down the option key during start-up" work to get the start-up disk option menu on these machines? I can't get it to work. Is it a specific firmware/software component? I built this machine using a system disk from a Powerbook G4 and was wondering if this was the culprit.
Thanks,
Michael B!
The machine has be able to accept the firmware (Open Firmware?) that allows for the option startup. My 600MHz iMac has the option startup, but the 233MHz does not (nor does my Lombard).
