My main point: YDL gets hopelessly lost if there is more than two partitions (one being YDL and the other being any form of MacOS, whether native 9 or any of the several usable variants of X), and I presented one way to allow booting into other of the more-than-one MacOS partitions. As always, the partition into which YDL installs should be an "empty" partition, intended for a first-time install of YDL, or a previous install of YDL. YDL will correctly install into an empty partition on a drive which has more than one other bootable partitions, but the "X" option cannot be used to select the partition from which to boot, hence the only potentially successful options become "L" or "C", and should the optical drive have a bootable emergency CD which also has a "Startup Device" menu item, then you may, through the two-step process described, select from one of the several other bootable partitions. However, you may lose the YDL dual boot menu, and you may have to Cmd-Opt-O-F reset the NVRAM to get the dual boot menu back. I DO run 9.2.2 within 10.4.11 or 10.3.9 or 10.3.9 Server, but some utilities, such as PCI device or optical device firmware installers, demand native OS 9. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
