AFAIK the 8 GB limitation is Beige G3's and early iMacs only. You did not need to partition the iBook.

One more time... (I know it's been asked many times before) -

What model Macs have the limitation that requires OS X to reside within the first 8 GB of hard drive space (i.e within a partition on the first 8 GB) in order to be bootable ? What factors come into play here that may affect this? I need to decide how to configure an 18 GB drive on a beige that will only contain OS X 10.2.8 (or eventually higher w/ XPF).

I have seen where people have stated they have OS 9.2 and OS X on the same unpartitioned large volume drive space. Only on newer Macs? I purchased a used Dual USB 700 MHz iBook over a year ago and it came with 9.2 & 10.2 on the under 8 GB partition scheme. Was that unnecessary? Now the partition is nearly full!
