Hi Gang!
Well, I finally screwed up the nerve to try the upgrade from 8.6 to 9.1.
I say "try" because, er, uh...
The place where I bought the disks sent me two. One was a
virgin-looking, factory 9.04 disk. The other was a homemade burn with
the 9.1 upgrade on it.
The 9.04 install went nearly perfectly. The 9.1 left me with the system
installed. But when I tried to boot from the ATA hard drive (via Tempo,
freshly zeroed out and clean-installed) on which I installed it, I
repeatedly got a message after the Happy Mac that went something like
this:
"The Startup Disk for your model of Macintosh cannot start up with this
edition of the OS. Get the installer disk and try re-installing." Or
something a lot like that.
I tried it twice, with the same result both times. I'm typing this from
9.04, which seems to work just fine in all respects.
Anybody have any acquaintance with this? Is this a "Wish I Were" gestalt
situation? Is this a common problem solved with some simple trick? And
what about Erica?
