Anybody know what's going on here? I'm tired of this issue. Thanks, -jra Sounds like when you initialized/partitioned the drive the OS9 drivers weren't installed on the OSX volume. It's a check box during the partition process. You may have to wipe/re-initialize that partition in order to get the drivers enabled for OS9. --- JSH TiBook -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 9.2.2 boot doesn't mount OS X volume
It sounds like you didn't add the OS9 drivers when you partitioned the drive. The only way I know how to resolve this is back up, wipe the drive, and repartion the drive with the OS9 drivers.

Re: 9.2.2 boot doesn't mount OS X volume
If the OSX partition is the first one on the disk (i.e. was at the top of the list when you formatted the volume), you should be able to boot from that partition by holding down the 'D' key when rebooting the Powerbook. If I remember right, that attempts to boot from the first partition on the internal drive. Also, doesn't the system look for an OSX boot volume if you hold down the 'X' key? I'm pretty sure either of these should work. Anyone else confirm one or both? Hope that helps. -Hal On Mar 6, 2004, at 6:04 PM, Jonathan R.

Re: 9.2.2 boot doesn't mount OS X volume
Joanathan, if you restart your PB hold down the X key and that will boot on 10., , also you can always boot from the 9.x.x cd if you want to access the option of which hd as a default.
