no need for master
Authored by: eagle_eyes on May 16, '02 12:56:56PM

I make tons of bootable disk using just read/write format from disk copy. They work fine, bootable, modifiable, etc!! I have not tried to make an OS X bootable. The sad part of OS X is that OS 9 is much easier to deal with when there are serious hardware issues. Mostly because there are a lot more options for utiliies under 9, that have had years of development.

I think that the issue is really that OS X adds (finally) real hardware abstraction. That is to say that it doesn't programs other than the kernel and its extentions touch anything. It's like how a lot of hardware firmware updaters on the IBM/PC platform make you use DOS instead of Windows. In other words OS 9 runs without any protection from anything (which, incidentally is the main reason why it's faster).
