Hi,
I do not know if this is the right list for this, but, I wonder if somebody
can help me with this:
I have PB Wallstreet and these are my operating conditions:
- 300 Mhz CPU (OSX.1 doesn't like my Powerlogix 500MHz CPU)
- 256 MB low profile memory
- 30 GB HD partitioned as:
Partition 1 = OSX.1 - 8 GB
Partition 2 = OS9.2.1 - 6 GB
Partition 3 = YDL 2.0 Linux - 14 GB useable after SWAP and Linux Boot
- Under the old 9.21 environment I run YDL 2.0 via BootX (as an extension
under OS9.21)
As you can see from above. I have all 3 OS's installed on this Wallstreet.
Iloaded the OS9.1 upgraded to 9.2.1, then I loaded OSX upgraded to OS X.1.
THis works and I can start each one independently using Startup Disk. Ithen
loaded YDL2.0 under the OS9.2.1 environment and now I have a situation.
OS92.1 and YDL2.0 boots of OS9.2.1 and presents me the BootX GUI so I can
choose between MacOS and Linux. This works for both OS's.
When I go to OS9.2.1 Startup Disk and change boot to OSX.1, restart, I end
up in Open Firmware. Type bye in Open Firmware and the Wallstreet tries to
boot but it just hangs (floppy with ?). To get out of it I have to do a
hard reset (4 finger salute) to get it to shutdown and boot again to OS9.2.1
environment.
Does anybody know how to get all 3 OS' to boot harmoniously in this
environment? Has anybody worked on BootX to choose boot from any of the 3
OS's? I'd like to try out OSX, but I have a lot of stuff running and am
using Linux for, so I'd like to be able to choose any of the 3 OS
environments.
I also tried the X-Unix List but no answer yet!
Thanks
