Rob, It may have been the way I wrote it, but I don't have a problem with a 9.04 boot from HD - it works fine. I too have a legal copy of 9.04, but would like to upgrade to 9.1 (in the vain hope it might improve the multiuser functionality and make by USB camera work). I don't have a 9.1 CD, just the software update - hence the need to boot 9.1 from HD not CD.
Sorry for the confusion. If it helps, I have an 128M 3000/180 SM, with PCI Formac 2nd video card and PCI USB card with a wacom tablet/mouse, External SCSI disk, SCSI scanner, serial modem, serial MIDI and serial Epson printer. (I upgraded memory from 64M last night AND replaced my motherboard battery with 3 AA's!).

But before I go into my experience I don't understand why you can't boot from the harddrive with 9.04. You seem to have a different problem altogether. I've been on 9.04 and have had no problems booting directly from the harddrive. I'm thinking there is either a hardware problem or you installed 9.04 wrong...but I'm not knowledgeable enough on this to be sure. What is your hardware setup? As to my experience upgrading...I have a full legal version of 9.04 and I've had no problems with that, but every time I would do the upgrade I downloaded from apple.com, the computer would freeze on rebooting. I would end up having to reboot from the cd and reinstall 9.04. And yes, I would be doing the upgrade from a clean install of 9.04. I had 90megs of memory, everything else is standard. I hope someone out there can help you and possibly me.
