Greetings all!!
Excuse my ignorance... after a disk crash (A bad shape disk I am
assuming.. or either an ATA error) on my "Smurf" B&W G3-400, I just
replaced the former system HDD -in which I had both OSs 9 and X-
with a clean one in which I installed OS X solely.
Now I want to install OS 9 again, on a internal SCSI drive. Would
the installation overwrite anything on the boot parameters on the
actual OS X startup disk? Which one should be the best way to
install it? Would it work on sepatare drives/separate buses?
No. The only thing it might do is select the OS 9 System folder as
the startup System, something easily fixed by going onto the Startup
Disk control panel in either OS and selecting the OS X System folder.
It should work fine on any disk. If you formatted the disk during the
install of OS X, you needed to check the little box that said
'Install OS 9 drivers', or OS 9 will only see the drive as an
unformatted disk.
If you install it on the separate disk, this is fine, just boot from
the OS 9 CD, format the drive with Drive Setup on the CD and install.
