An easy way to boot the different OS's when using XPFacto. Use XPF to boot from OS9 to OSX and when you want to boot back to OS 9 hold down the option key and it boots into OS 9 This works for restarts or from a cold start. The machine otherwise boots into the OS it was in when you shut down. You are correct there is currently no way to boot a cd from OSX. In fact you will likely get the "Black Screen of Death" Ryan is working on including CD booting and Firewire drive booting in XPFacto 3.0 later Will S PS I tried Sonnets OSX software the cache software included doesn't work with XLR8 G3/4 upgrades so this kept it from working it did install but crashed as soon as the cache software loaded and I could figure out to remove or turn it off. So likely only works with Sonnet upgrades thought some other brands may work. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
