Well, it appears the rebooting woes I was experiencing were mainly due
to the HD. After trying another motherboard and having the same
problems, I have put the original Rev 2 board back in my B&W and
installed a brand new 40 Gb HD. Presto, no more problems! I set the
drive up the same way I did the other one with OSX and OS9 on 2
different partitions and it will now start and restart in either OS
just fine. Near as I can tell, it must of been the Boot It NG boot
manager program I use on my PC's that caused the problem. This
particular software alters the MBR on the HD and is very difficult to
remove. I may just install the 80 Gb drive as a slave and use it that
way. Hopefully that won't let it cause any problems. I plan on using
the system as is for the next week or so to make sure the problem does
not return. Then I think I'll try installing Ubuntu Linux on the 15 Gb
free space partition I left free just for that reason. Here we go
again, be sure and stay tuned!
Just a message from Doug...
