I am going to have to try this. Tonight I backed up everything that I needed to keep to a 4GB external SCSI drive, stuck in my OS 9.0 CD and wiped the drive. I set up a 7.5GB partition, a 2GB partition for OS 9, and the remainder of the 40GB drive for misc storage. I attempted to install OS 9 to the 2GB, and once it finished I restarted. I get the message stating 'no bootable HFS partition found'. The strange thing is that I had installed OS 9 to this originally, then installed 10.0.3 and all of the subsequent upgrades/updates to the first partition and didn't have a problem. I try to install fresh and it pukes on me. :> Brian -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
