If you look at the CPU Monitor preferences, then you'll see that the colors match categories of processes. Basically, lots of RED will slow a system down while GREEN just means that stuff is happening (but it's not critical and It'll share the CPU). GRAY is idle (I think)

I've compared the script that was posted to the original and it's virtually the same. The only difference is indentation in the code which doesn't matter anyway. The first boot menus were put directly into nvram which meant they had to fit in 128 bytes or so. formatting doesn't affect forth...

I think I know where the problem lies... I think there is a problem with the way that this site has displayed the script. eg. I think the line that currently reads <B>dup get-msecs &lt;</B> should look different. Because any text you enter when you post here is treated as HTML, &lt; and...

I'm not sure why you got the error about &lt;CHRP-BOOT&gt; If you email me some details about your computer I'll try to figure it out. If you want to clear the boot-device variable, simply use Startup Disk (In any OS) and it will overwrite it. My email is &lt;lramsay@mac.com&gt; I...

... And after much delays (Sorry) here's that boot menu script. It assumes one IDE disk with one partition. To use it, put it in a text file called "menu" at the top level of your HD. Make Mac OS 9 the default startup disk. Boot into open firmware (Cmd+Opt+O+F) type "setenv boot-device...

After running without dynamic paging for a day, I have realized that Mac OS X lacks a "swapon" command. This is what lets the OS use the swap partition as VM. If anyone tried this then I apologise. IT DOES NOT WORK! Sorry, Link :(

When OF loads a newworld machine, it looks for a blessed folder ("System Folder" or "/System/Library/CoreServices") with a file of type TBXI. This must be a CHRP script. Look at the first bit of "Mac OS ROM" or "BootX" There is a program called ybin that generates a CHRP script that lets...

CAUTION! This involves reformatting your disk so be careful and back up your data. If this fries your HD then don't complain to me. You have been warned... OS X uses dynamic paging (that horrible system that's in Windows95/98/ME) so a fragmented disk makes for very slow performance. With only...
