Re: Booting Darwin and OSX

What I did to install OS X and Darwin is boot w/ the OS 9 cd, then use the disk utility to partition/initialize the drive into 2 partitions. restart and hold option-e to eject the OS 9 cd, then boot off the OS X cd and install. Download the darwin image, boot from your OS 9 cd again, and run ASR (apple software restore) that comes on the darwin image, restore to your other partition.

then you'll have to use the OS 9/X system disk to choose the darwin partition, as it isn't in the option-boot after you restore. after you boot into darwin, you can reboot and hold down option and both partitions will show up. then just use OS X system disk to choose your OS X partition, and hold option at startup when you need to boot darwin.

it's nice having only unix on the box... :) wow, it's nice being able to say it, too!

I want to run both MacOSX and Darwin on one partitioned HD from my

Can this be done in Open Firmware?

I don't have this particular problem with my Lombard but I did create a
situation on my lombard that made me boot back'n'forth like you did. I
made an OSX partition first, followed by my OS9 partition. So everytime my
computer crashes in OS9, it'll boot into OSX by default. My fix is to
reboot Cmd-Opt-O-F and then type the following:

setenv boot-device hd:10,\\:tbxi (my OS9 partition is 10;
before it said hd:,\\:tbxi)
mac-boot
