Sorry Chris - it's not true - I have more then 1 Bondi with much more
then 8GB on it - running Mac OS! I think it's only an issue of OSX
that must be installed on a 66Mhz iMac (Rev. A- Rev.D) within 8 GB...
I am pretty sure!

after i installed the new drive and ram, i started with installing
the
original system software (os8.1), that's the only one i have the
complete
system install disk for. after that i have all the upgrades.
the new drive shows up on the desktop (i partitioned it), i can see
the
system in there when i open it, and i also can see the drive in the
startup
disk dialog. it will let me select it as the startup disk but it
just won't
start up.
am i forgetting something?
What size is that partition?
The bondi (and some others) can't boot from a partition larger than 8
GB,
and that partition MUST be the first partition on the drive.
If your partition is larger than 8 GB or is not entirely within the
first
8 GB of the drive, then it isn't going to boot from that drive.
Repartition, and make the first partition 7.5 GB to be sure you stay
within the limits. Then make the rest of the drive a 2nd partition.
Reinstall the OS onto that 7.5 GB partition, and you *should* be good to
go.
