I wasn't trying to be cryptic. I was pointing you at the tool you need, as a
sign post.
You have to run bless as root, otherwise, nothing happens. That's in the man
page for bless. Also in the man page, near the bottom, are some examples.
What works for me, (a single volume, 9 and X on that volume is)
bless -folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" -folder9 "/System Folder"
-use9
You have to put the path in quotes, spaces or not. There are also examples
that give you tips on dealing with multiple volumes, etc. Note, if
everything is on one volume, the you won't have any entries in /Volumes, so
that part of the path can and should be ignored. As well, in that case, you
don't need to supply a drive name.
