Re: how about a booting to X from a 9.1 partition?

[Simon]

    For me it just does not happen. I have a 9.1 partition that when I try
to boot to a OSX.1 it just loads to OS9.
    I have been using startup disk for this task.  I need both 9 and X . I
can't run 9 as classic in OSX ( I don't believe I have the power) so I need
to be able to boot from different partitions.
I had a similar problem.  When I was booted into my OS 9.1 system, I 
would choose OSX in the start up disk, but 9.1 kept   coming up.  I 
had to boot from the 9.1 system folder that I had on the same HD and 
partition that X was on.  Then I could boot to X with the start up 
disk.  But seperate HD's didn't seem to work.  I also can't get in 
to classic from X.  I keep getting a resource update error.  It 
worked when I first installe X but it quit when I updated to 10.2.8.

Just my two cents,

Kevin

Hi Guys,

I think I've caught the feel of this thread. On unsupported Macs you 
need to use Xpostfacto (or Sonnets equivalent) to boot into OSX. You 
cannot use "Start Up Disk" CDEV as you can on later Dual Bootable 
Macs later than B&W G3 (Someone with Beige Box confirm this? as I 
have had minimal exposure to these things).

I had no problem using OS9.1 as my "Classic" environment for OSX so 
you don't have to upgrade to later versions if you don't want to.

However to reboot mac into OS 9.x you can use "System Tools", 
"Startup Disk" and then select the appropriate OS 9 to boot from.

 A little off topic but also related, you need a helper installer to 
install OS 9.2.1 and OS 9.2.2 onto OldWorlde Macs as well.

Regards

Simon
