Switching between OS 9 and OS X at boot
Authored by: daybrother on Nov 23, '04 12:43:24PM

FWII:
I have Wallstreets running Panther via XPF with 9 and X on seperate partitions. Up until about OS X 3.4 or 5 I had to either 1)hard reset (SHIFT+FN+CONTROL+POWER) which resstarts in 9, then reboot from XPF into Panther, or 2)boot to open firmware and choose "BYE" or "BOOT" to choose to start up in 9 or X. or 3) After hard reset open startup disk in 9, wait for it to freeze, restart with CONTROL+COMMAND+POWER and then open it again and choose Panther from startup disk; restart.

With 3.4 or 5 I was suddenly able to cold reboot and hold OPTION down; this would start up in OS 9. (Normal start is in OS X) a normal restart from 9 then restarts in Panther. I do not have a start up option screen.
