A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
Perfectly safe it is not. First of all, Ryan's work on "Helper disks" in XPostFacto is intended for booting OS X from otherwise unsupported external FireWire hard disks. His tricks have nothing to do with the 8 GB limitation. In fact, his tricks don't kick in until after the limitation has had its effect. I'll explain.
A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
It _is_ perfectly safe if your so called "helper" is completely within the 8GB limit. as a matter of fact, the only thing I'd change about what this guy is doing is to create partition one as 7500 Meg, do a complete install of OS 9 and Panther to it, CCC it to the 112 GB partition two, and then tell XPF to boot P2 using P1 as a helper. as long as the kernel and support files are on partition one in the hidden "helper" directory, this works just fine. |
