Noo. OS X gives you the option of installing OS 9 drivers at the 
beginning of the format stage.

Re: Wallstreet LCD backlight not turning on after wake from sleep / installing OS9

[George Mogiljansky]

My two cents' worth: it depends if during the OSX
install you checked "install OS9 drivers". But I've
been told to format drives intended for OSX using the
OS 9 version of Disk Drive Set-up.

You know what, I'm not sure I asked this very clearly in the first 
place. Let me elucidate. The answer may still be the same, but 
question is slightly different. :-)

If a person already has his drive partitioned into 2 partitions. If 
he has already installed OS X, but didn't install the OS 9 drivers 
when he installed OS X. Then subsequently he installs OS 9 on the 
second partition (he still can't install the OS 9 drivers without 
reformatting the drive). Now...

Can he boot into OS 9 from the OS on the second partition?

That's what I thought I remembered. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks Mikael.

Although that is the subject of his initial request, in a later post he said,

"I want to install OS 9"

So, I addressed that remark separate from the LCD problem. Thus the 
OS 9 issue may still be a problem for him.

He will be able to boot from CD, but discs will be unreachable. The CD
booting will hoeever fix the black display problem. First time the
machine may freeze at trying to reset start disk. Nothing to worry about
as it will work next time.

OS X has some funkiness on an older G3 PB. The easiest way to achieve 
what you want would be to mount the CD while in OS X, then select it 
as the startup disk. Then re-boot.

If you have the room in the 12 GB partition, you can install OS 9 
there. It doesn't have to be installed in the first 8 GB.

Somebody help me out here, I don't want to give bad advice. Will Dave 
be able to **boot* into OS 9 is he didn't install the OS 9 drivers 
when he partitioned in OS X? I can't imagine that he did if he 
doesn't have OS 9 installed.

>Again: Wallstreet 300gHz, 192mb RAM, 20g HD (8g/12g partitions)

Wow, 192 MB is not very much when it comes to running OS X. Is 
there's any way you can manage to up it to 384, you'll find OS X runs 
faster and quite a bit better for you.

HTH,

Wallstreet LCD backlight not turning on after wake from sleep / installing OS9

[Dave NovaK]

Just like the subject says, my Wallstreet's LCD backlight won't turn back 
on
after it wakes up from going to sleep. I also have to manually hit the the
brightness control button (either bright or dark) upon each bootup to get
the LCD backlight going.

I'm running 10.2.8, and when I originally loaded the OS in, I didn't have 
>this problem. Maybe three months down the line, for no good reason, it 
>started doing this.

Wallstreet 300mhz, 192mb RAM, 20g HD, CD/DVD, OS 10.2.8

  Reboot in OS 9, from HD or CD. It's the only thing I know helps.

That would be an option... if I had OS9 installed.
How do I revert back from 10.2.8 to something else? Can I undo those 
"automatic updates"?

I want OS9 installed.
Why I don't have OS9 installed:
I replaced the HD with a 20gig Travelstar.
So I had a completely new hard drive, and OSX discs, but no OS9 discs. I 
installed 10.2.8 to the first partition (8gb rule), and had another 12g 
partition.

I can't seem to get the 'book to boot from the OS9 CD, tho (yes, I'm holding 
the C key throughout the boot). It sucks, and I really want to be able to 
use OS9.

What gives?
Again: Wallstreet 300gHz, 192mb RAM, 20g HD (8g/12g partitions)
