Test of single partitioned drive
Authored by: vaalrus on Mar 21, '02 12:12:58PM

A slight mis-understanding. The rule is that the MacOS X partition must be wholly within the first 8GB of the drive. Partition order is non-relevant.

After much long-distance and second hand troubleshooting, these rules also appear to be enforced for the original Bondi iMacs. At least the Rev. A models. What is even weirder is that the secondary Mac OS 9 partition had to be within the first 8GB as well, which caused no end of fuss. (but then, this iMac does have a Formac SCSI card, and a Newer 466Mhz upgrade...)
