Ok, so if you read my buildup thread, you know that I have a 300 MHZ beige G3 minitower that I'm trying to install tiger on. It has 768 MB ram, rev. c ROM (recognizes second hard drive in os9), pioneer DVD rw drive, 80 GB Maxtor Hard drive, and the stock drive with os9.
I formatted an 8 GB partition in hfs+ using apple drive setup on the 80gb drive and ran xpostfacto with a tiger DVD in the DVD drive. I selected the formatted 8 gb partition in xpostfacto and it copied over some files to the partition then rebooted. I've mixed and matched the drives on both ide controllers with and without the os9 drive and the only thing it does is flash either "Cant Open" or "No Bootable HFS Partition". Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?
