I tried Mr. Tea's reboot script and I got the following error message:
--> ERROR(bless):Error while get directory ID of /Volumes/Hard
Drive/System\Folder\
ERROR(bless):No mount point for /Volumes/Hard Drive/System\Folder\
ERROR(bless):Can't determine mount point of '' and '/Volumes/Hard
Drive/System\Folder
My Disk name has a space in it. Is this a possible cause? Do I use a
special character in the terminal to denote a space?

This script is for rebooting into OS 9 from X. In the first line (do
