Test with something on boot partition?
Authored by: macfeller on Jan 14, '03 11:42:53AM

Did just that when I tried to follow the example in the Hint. Just now I tried file:///partion name. Same thing. I *know* it's gotta be something stupid!

Try this:

file:///Volumes/partition_name

Also note that the icon in the address bar changes dynamically as you're typing... this way, you know when you got it wrong (it is a blank document icon then).

it sorta works. That is, it behaves nice with all partitions except the boot volume! Now that is either extremely weird or still something dumb on my part. I tried it a million different ways.

A very nice thing about this is you can type the space and it will become the %20 in the URL.
