I have an ageless B&W G3 Tower running OSX Server v.1.0
( partitioned in UFS and OS9 disk formats ) that I'm finally moving
on to better things and have somehow lost the ability to get to the
main partition for some data I would like to recover.
In trying to access the main OSX 1.0 partition I created another
OSX Server 1.0 partition but that doesn't seem to mount the first
partition ( or at least I don't know how to get it to mount - my, how
OSX has changed since then ).
Nor can I figure out how to get it to boot off the main partition
- holding down the option key only seems to bring up OS9, and it
stays there ( that's how I lost Server access originally ).
Using OSX 10.4's Disk utility I can see the two UFS partitions
grayed out but have been unable to get a proper mount command if the
G3 is attached to a 10.4 Mac via FireWire ( all tries either do
nothing - or at least I don't see the partition on the Desktop - or
return a cmd. options list ). I can, however see the OS9 partitions
on the Desktop.
Any suggestions or help in getting the main partition booted, or
that partition mounted would be greatly appreciated.
