I left my S900 on all night in XPF verbose mode, hoping it might find the "root device" it says it's waiting for. No luck. When I awoke next morning, it was still resetting the SCSI bus for the umpteenth time. And waiting. > Also, boot holding down the OPTION key only, that should get you back to OS > 9. Nope. The NVRAM seems too corrupted for that. No system can be mounted from any drive. There are about three system folders available for startup, plus the CD drive with a 9.1 boot disk in it, but it won't open any of them from any known key combo. > HMM, Do you have OS 9 on the same or separate partition?

I have a barebones OS 9.1 on the same partition as OSX (designate), for use as Classic; I have OS 9.1 available on a separate partition; and I have a bootable OS 9.1 CD. The partitions are 9.5 GB each. > > Do you still have the original SCSI HD in (2GB FIREBALL)?

My 2 GB Quantum Fireballs are long gone. <snip> Thanx for the suggestions, Dono. Please know I'm on the verge of throwing in the towel. Who needs OSX anyway?
