I've not had this problem. Is it a Sonnet "issue" ? I have 4 OS's on 2 drives. My default 9.1 is on the VST card, then I've got OS X on the 2g SCSI with a small partition (100 meg) for diagnostics; then OS X on another IDE partition, and OS 9.2 on yet another IDE partition. All this from a 2 G scsi and 15 G IDE. It actually works amazingly well. The XPostFacto 2.2b1 is what made X on the VST finally possible.
