Thank you!!!  I'll give that a try.  Now my UMAX s900 with a PCI Radeon
ATA 66 card will not boot to any hd or the cd.  I get the happy Mac logo
then it reboots to a blank screen..  Anyone know what I can do?  I also
can not boot to the os9 cd at all...

In XPostFacto there's an Input Device and Output Device selection in one

of the menus. If the Radeoon card is installed there will be a string 
like pci2/ATY,RV100Parent/ATY,RV100ad_A ...something that will end in A 
or B. this sets the 'boot screen' to the A port (the VGA) or the B prot 
(the DVI) connector on the Radeon, otherwise they're blank until you've 
completely booted up.

You can also do this in OSX by entering th following command in
Terminal:

sudo nvram output-device pciX/ATY,RV100Parent/ATY,RV100ad_A

where X is the PCI slot your Radeon is in.
