My problem is that I can only boot into X from OS 9 or another X by using XPF 3 and designating a helper disk. When I try XPF 2.2.5 or XPF 3 with no helper, the boot keeps flashing "no bootable HFS partition" and eventually boots back into 9. I've tried the ATA card in both slots 2 and 3. It is currently back in slot 3. I thought that the Acard's had no slot or first-8-gigs issues.
As I say, I am successfully running OS X on this machine. My concern is that I am now dependent on a second drive (a 2 gigger on the internal narrow SCSI) and would be unable to boot should anything happen to that drive. Has anyone out there encountered this issue with ATA cards? I believe my HD is set up as Master and it is attached to the end of the cable.
