You have to use XPostFacto instead of the StartUp Disk Control Panel to
set the computer to start in OS X, otherwise you'll need to boot from a
CD to get back to OS 9.  From OS X you use its start-up preferences to
get back to OS 9!  Each works only in one direction (logically, I guess!)
 ExPostFacto makes sure that the otherwise missing start-up files are
loaded each time.  (I placed ExPostFacto in my Control Panel Folder and
renamed it with an initial space to put it at the top of the list as
reminder.)
