Hi listers,
I was wondering if anyone remembers whether slot-loading iMac are subject to the 'first eight Gb' restriction for boot-up partitions. I searched Apple support in vain.
These Macs have the "8-Gig Limitation": http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
The reason being that while on my Firewire iBook I've two partitions that both work as startup disks, a similar arrangement on the iMac is not working -i.e., if I try to boot up from the third partition, I get no joy.
So, you have a (blessed) system folder on the third partition. What method(s) have you tried in order to have it act as the boot volume? (Startup Pref Pane?, Keys down at startup?) When it doesn't work, what happens instead?
The current partitioning is roughly 17/3/8 GB. I cloned the system from the first partition to the third one, but, as I say, I can't start up from it.
Did you use Carbon Copy Cloner?
This happens under 10.2.3.
So, no OS 9 on the iMac... or? And BTW, do you have some reason for remaining at 10.2.3, rather than updating?
