Boot up partition selection
Authored by: DavidRavenMoon on Aug 17, '02 06:50:44PM
The thing is, the Option, or Alt, key doesn't work on all models on Mac (like Power Macs G3, some iMacs and PowerBooks) so with the D key you can still boot in OS9 without having to go to the Startup Disk Control Panel if you have one of these models.

I believe Option wont work if OS 9 and OS X are on the same partition.

Even if they are on separate partitions, Option won't work on those models.
