Hey guys, I've been following this with a little interest since I switched out my XLR8 G3 for a faster Sonnett. Using the advice here, I used XPostoFacto to install X onto a spare 2 gig SCSI drive on the internal bus of my 8500. When I rebooted into X, it said that certain commands would not work as I was booting from a read-only disk, presumably the CD, which was still in the CD-ROM. When I tried to reboot without it, the machine would hang at 'waiting for the startup device' or something similar to that, and all the Linux or Unix commands that I know wouldn't function.
How can I get this situation to boot into Aqua? I'm using one of the first releases of OSX, as in a public release, not a macine specific one and was planning to upgrade after I got this up, so AFAIK it should work. What am I doing wrong?
