Re: can't start up with FW drive

At the beginning of the school year we bought some Intel minis for a lab.
I took one of our firewire drives, reformatted it and put the Intel Tiger
OS 10.4.6 on it that came with the Minis. That enabled me to use
NetHelper/Restore to make a golden image of one of the minis. I've run
SWupdate and updated these minis and want to make a new image, however I
can't. I can't start up from the Firewire drive. I've tried holding down
the c key, choosing the 10.4.6 system to start from within Syst Prefs, but
it only boots to the mini which now has 10.4.8. Does anyone have a clue
as to why this won't work? I thought it might be because the Firewire
system is older than the minis, so I tried to download and install the
SWupdate 10.4.8 onto the FW drive, but it won't let me choose that as a
viable place to install the update. Any help would be appreciated.

Laurie,

I ran into this earlier this year as well. There is a great article from TidBITS which will give you the info you need.
