Partitioning for OS 9
Authored by: DavidRavenMoon on Aug 17, '02 12:54:29AM


does OS 9 need to be in partition 1?

No. Unless you want to press D...


If I need to press D to boot into the first partition that will always be OS X.
Then, how would I be able to boot to OS 9 in my third partition.

I have a similar setup. Three partition, OS 9 on the first one, OS X on the second one, and the third has applications and stuff.

When I want to boot into 9, which is mostly only to run Cubase, I either change it in the Startup Disk pref, or hold down the Option key at startup, and choose the OS 9 partition. The Startup Disk is the faster way to go, unless you are starting from a cold boot.

If you already have 9 set as the startup OS, you can hold down the X key to boot into OS X.
