Dear Jeff & Heok, I, too, have experienced this problem, usually after an OS 9 or classic crash. Typically I will set my Pismo to startup on OS 9, but when booting, shortly after the first "happy mac" it will RE-boot, and start up in X. This began happening after installing 10.1, and continues in 10.2. The only solution for me was to do the following, in sequence: (1) In X, open the "startup disk" panel of system preferences, and choose the OS9 volume; (2) open the "classic" panel of system preferences, and click the "advanced" tab; (3) click "rebuild desktop" and wait while it rebuilds the desktop on the chosen startup disk; (4) close the "system preferences" app and restart the Mac. On at least one occasion, after booting up 9 in this way, OS 9 proceeded to rebuild the desktops again! But all worked fine... until the next time when I needed to repeat this rigamarole all over again. This procedure is what you have to do when you discover that holding down "option" during startup doesn't give you the choice of booting from your OS 9 disk. --Jim. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
