Hi.
I did mean restarting back into OSX from OSX. It did work without a problem before and as far as I know I haven't changed anything.
Okay- have you repaired permissions? Do you have DiskWarrior for OSX? That's where I would go. There are other people on this list wiser than me in OSX and hopefully will jump in. One of the things that I have a recollection (vague) of is a setting in the XPostFacto CP to slow down the start up so slower discs can get up to speed. I may have that wrong. I have had the "waiting for local disks" message from time to time. I use DiskWarrior whenever there's any sign of trouble-which isn't anywhere as often as when I was using OS9. Repairing "permissions" using the OSX disk utility is something that needs to be done regularly.
I hope this helps.

The "slow down" in XPostFacto is the "throttle" value. I do believe that setting it to something like "8" may give slower discs a chance to get up to speed. If that works, you can then experiment with bringing it down to (or near to) "0" to speed up the boot process.
