Can anyone tell me if OSX 10.4 must be installed on the first 8 gb of
a hard drive on a Pismo?
I recently upgraded my Pismo's drive to a 60 GB drive and I cloned my
10.3 install to that drive. I did not partition the drive in any way
and
all works just fine, so I'd have to guess that no, there is no 8 GB
limit
on the Pismo (not like the way the 1st gen iMac needs OS X in a
partition
that does not exceed the first 8 GB.
The reason that all the PowerBooks after the Wallstreet II have the
"New World" 4 MB ROM. The 1G iMac and the pre-Lombard 'Books have the
Old World ROM. The Pismo doesn't have the first 8 GB limitation because
of this.
This should clarify things some.
