I have a 9500 that has 256MB RAM, an XLR8 ZIF carrier card w/a G3/300 ZIF, a Sonnet ATA66 card with a 40GB drive and a 24X CD-ROM attached to it. The drive has been partitioned this way: 1st 30GB is Jag, last 10GB is OS 9.2.2. When I am in OS 9.2.2, even though I can use the Startup Disk control panel it still reboots into OS 9.2.2. I can't seem to get into Jag. The only way I can do this is by using Xpostfacto to boot into it. My real problem is when I'm in Jag and I shut down for a period of time (+ 30 minutes), the computer seems to forget that I was in Jag and boots into 9 instead when I power it up again. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advance.
The way XPF works is that it tweaks the NVRAM so that OS X can be booted. You can not and should not use 'Startup Disk' in OS 9 to select the OS X boot partition, you have to use XPF. As for the shut-down restart issue, I'm not sure what the cause could be. If you clock resets between uses, then I would replace the battery. With XPF working correctly, the computer will boot back into OS X on every cold start.

Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?"
You have to recognize that every out-front maneuver you make is going to be
lonely. But if you feel entirely comfortable, then you are not far enough
ahead to do any good. That warm sense of everything going well is usually the
body temperature at the center of the herd. --John Masters
