Have you read the requirements for your X loader? XpostFacto has
some requirements on the scsi drive devices. If you are using the
sonnet loader or another one, refer to their documentation on drive
specifics. You may have to physically remove the internal 2gig to
get it to boot. I also think there are some Adaptec issues with X.
You may be able to boot X from the adaptec, but then the drives will
not show up on 9.

Hi all
I have my PTP here, with OS X 10.2 on it, and I'd like to know if
its possible to just move the whole startup volume to another volume
using the mv command. Under Linux you can mv / /<new spot here> -rf
and that will move your whole root filesystem, which is the whole
shebang in Linux, to the new volume. On the Mac, can I do this and
have the new, bigger volume work? This current install seems to
work just fine, but its on a tiny 2 GB drive and it won't let me do
the update to 10.2.8 which promises many improvements. I'd like to
shove it on an 8GB RAID of two drives which are on the Adaptec SCSI
controller, that would be much faster than the dinky 2GB drive on
the old Mac external (slow) SCSI port, which is where the magic
starts right now.
I started to do it in a shell after doing an su -root I did:
mv -if / /smallRAID
and it responded..
