Re: Booting OS X off of 1394 drive with OF
i copied all my OS X stuff over to the 1394 drive How did you do that? Are you aware of the fact that just copying all the files using the finder does not yield a bootable Mac OS X installation (because the finder messes up file ownership and permissions)? See http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html for an utility that can make bootable HD copies. -Christian

Yes, I installed 10.2 on the firewire drive using the install CDs then copied the files over. -Micah
Booting OS X off of 1394 drive with OF
OK, when I installed mdk, i bought a new 1394 external drive, and i soon realized i couldn't install mdk directly on to it. so i copied all my OS X stuff over to the 1394 drive, initialized my internal HD, and installed on there. now the problem is that i cannot boot OS X off of my firewire drive. Since OF does not recognize 1394 drives, I cannot just boot into OS X using yaboot. Stew suggested that i set the boot-device in OF to blank. I did this, and restarted, and it searched for a start-up volume for a few seconds, then loaded yaboot. I am completely stuck. Can anyone help me? Please note that I am a linux and OF newbie so you will have to give me step-by-step instructions for everything. Thank you, Micah Buckley-Farlee
