hi, i have a beige g3 tower, single 256mb dimm, rev a mobo, 266mhz
i bought it with no hd, so i got a western digital caviar 22500 2.3Gb ide drive, plugged it into the ide ribbon with the ide cd rom, ran the os 9 installer, initialised the drive into two hfs+ partitions, everythings fine.
but once the install is finished, and i reboot, it just says "no bootable hfs partition" over and over and over
i found out recently rev a mobo's cant have slave ide devices - i checked the hd and cdrom, and they were both set to master! how they ever worked together to run the installer i'll never know! so anyway i pulled the cdrom off the ide ribbon, thereby leaving the hd as the single master drive on the ide ribbon.
still no good.
what's the problem?
