Yeah I put 9.1 on a seperate Hard Drive on the Adaptec 29160N in slot B/2 of the PCI bus formatted by FWB tools 4.5. It shows in Start Up Disk in 10.2.4. I just tried to hold down the option key and it did the same thing, tried to start 9.1 little mac face then rebooted automatically straight into 10.2.4.
So we'll see what happens when I try to reboot from 10.2.4 to the Hard Drive on the Adaptec. That has only 9.1 on it. I just don't want the screen of death again!!! That doesn't work either and just goes back to 10.2.4 so it doesn't matter which volume is chosen it just fails to go past the Mac Face for 9.1 then reboots 10.2.4.
