Okay, by now I expect most of you know my family's iMac very well. 
I have another question: I installed OS X and OS 9 on different partitions so that we would be able to use Apple's Startup Manager to switch operating systems at startup time.
It allows me to select both OS 9 and OS X as long as the system selected in for booting in either the Startup Disk control panel (in OS 9) or preference pane (in OS X) is OS 9. It only displays the OS X option if I select OS X in either of these places.
Now there is a problem with this: to allow my sisters to select either operating system, I must have it set to boot into OS 9 by default. They will be using OS X most of the time (actually all the time, except when they want to play Bugdom or Nanosaur or some other OS 9 only game), so I want it to boot into X unless they press the option key and tell it not to do so.
I thought that the Startup Manager should work regardless of which OS is selected as default.
Anyone have any ideas?
