Hi- I posted this message on the XPostFacto forum at OtherWorldComputing, without an answer yet... thought I'd try here as well...
I have a UMAX J700, XLR8 carrier card, G4 450 ZIF, four internal SCSI drives, internal CD-ROM, internal CD-R. The hard drives are the original 2 gb Quantum, a 2 gb Barracuda 7200, 4.5 gb 10000 RPM IBM Ultrastar, 4.5 gb 7200 rpm Western Digital. All but the original hard drive have 68 pin SCA connectors, with 68-50 pin adapters, and all hard drives are connected to the internal bus. The two CDs are connected, internally, to the external bus. I am currently running OS X from the 2 gb Barracuda, but want to install and run OS X from the IBM Ultrastar. So, I reboot in OS 9, use XPostFacto to select installation to the Ultrastar, it writes the files it needs to write to begin installation, then reboots... and OS 9 comes back again... the Ultrastar is ignored. I try again (using versions 2.2.1 and 2.2.4 of XPF) with the same results. Then I decide to use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the OS X installation from the Barracuda to the Ultrastar. The cloning seems to go fine. I reboot into OS 9, use XPF to select the Ultrastar as the boot drive, restart... and the J700 boots right back up into OS 9 again. Any suggestions or thoughts as to why OS X boots fine off of one SCSI drive, but is ignored on another... both drives on the same bus? Thanks...
