Hard disk naming can cause Safari page load issues
If I understand correctly, your hard drive was named iBook:private. If so, it just might be the colon that is to blame. For some reason, OS X looks at colons as if they were the pathname delimeters they were in OS 9. I had a similar problem ripping MP3s on one occasion because someone entered song data at CDDB in the form Dead Can Dance: Aion. Once I removed the colon, everything worked as it should.
Hard disk naming can cause Safari page load issues
That would be because OS X still has to interoperate with OS 9 (e.g. in Classic or via networking with older system Macs). It is therefore vital that the : is still an "invalid" character, just as / should be in filenames.

The Finder allows "/" in file and volume names -- it just translates them into ":"s internally. "/"s are used all the time in business to name a document after a date: "9/11 report". Try it out by naming something in the Finder and then looking at the file name using Terminal. The Unix part of Mac OS X uses "/" as a path separator, whereas Mac OS 9 uses ":". Thus the two characters are swapped, depending on which OS environment you are running under. |
