sorry for using the list as problem shooting diary :) I got the drives going and the 2 cd roms.
but there remains the mysterious booting situation, which I have temporarily solved by moving the system resources from my os9 system into its pref folder leaving the os9.1 sys all by itself on my 9 gb drive. I don't feel good about this. last year after putting in the sonnet ata66 card for some ide drives, a similar thing happened where the if there was any system on a scsi drive it would override the selection of a boot system on teh ide drive. There was only work arounds on that..no real solution. I am not comfortable trying to run OS X if this type of this is hovering in the back ground. suggestions? ideas? cheers tim >update... >changed scsi number and now its seen (of course ...doh). > >but there is some other wierd stuff going on. > >For example, >my bus 0, id 4 drive has os 9 on it. >a new drive i put in bus 0, id 1 has os 9.1 > >when ever I turn off the machine, the new drive does not mount though >I have it selected as the start up disk. >I have to use diskset up to mount it, after choosing the new drive as >the start up drive it then does boot.
