Re: iMac 233 & Dual Booting

[Jim Foster]

I can confirm what Chris just suggested, that the 233 Mhz iMac requires 
all boot OS's have to be on a single partition no larger than 8 Gb and 
located at the beginning of the hard drive. I made the mistake of 
installing an extra OS 9.x on my second partition and got exactly the 
same results you are seeing.

One obvious disadvantage of this is that OS X applcations generally 
install themselves on the OS X boot volume (although in some cases you 
can manually point them to a different volume for installation) and 
this in turn means that the 8 Gb partition gets pretty crowded pretty 
fast. But it is workable.

Good luck!!
