I know, I know...
Just downloaded XPostFacto 3.0b8 (the current one on the OWC page) for the new trusty S900. Had the drives (all on the internal SCSI bus) formatted with OS 9.1's Drive Setup. OS 9.1 happily running and drives functioning just ducky. No external drives or other attachments. Keyboard and mouse are USB as I am sharing via Belkin USB switch. I have the ATI 8MB Rage Pro PCI card & a combo firewire/USB in the top slots with an Asante 10bT network card in 3. Like I said, all has been merriment & mirth thus far.
So...while in 9.1 under normal operating conditions (booted off the hard drive) I launch XPostFacto, choose a partition on another drive and watch the magic happen. In XPost Facto I made no alterations or adjustments--all the defaults were used. I am using the Jaguar install disk for X. Voila! The CD starts humming, the screen goes blank, and life looks wonderful.
Alas, no. Once the pixie dust settled, the screen lit up and had a big X in OS X grey which strongly suggested no disk was found. So I simply tried to reboot hoping the CD would be found and continue the install process. Nada. Should I try an ADB keyboard with the SODA shortcut to see if that will make the box boot off the CD? Or is the firmware somehow corrupted requiring the happy dance?
