I installed 9.2 onto a FW HD and it doesn't let me boot off of it, it flashes the system folder with '?' over it and restarts to 10....any ideas?

    is this after you set the boot drive within osx to be the firewire drive?

    didn't work after i started from 9 and told it to start from the FW



    i guess i'll just have to install another HD to boot off of because i'm going to be reformatting my HD so i need to be able to boot from something else

    probably, yes. plus also the OS 9 Drivers for the rive itself which are not included in the System Folder.
