I've found the problem. :) An OS 9 "System Folder" was on the source volume and was blessed automatically by my "script" _after_ the OS X's bless (cf. my bless command). Blessing an OS 9 system folder seems to cancel the OS X bless and thus result in a non-bootable volume. All bless command returns 0, no error. Thanks for the '--' tip, I'll change it as needed. At least on Tiger, the documented options to bless have two -- instead of a single -, are you sure the bless command is even succeeding? Try adding --verbose to the command and inspect the output for further clues... The --setBoot argument (which used to be called --setOF) does not change the on-disk representation at all, but instead changes the boot-device open firmware variable (`nvram boot-device`). It's not possible (as far as I know) to modify an open firmware variable on a machine that is in target disk mode. Thus, I don't think your problem has any relation to the bootx.bootinfo file, but instead is due to the open firmware variable not being set on the PowerBook (until you set it via the option key and clicking the icon at boot). The thing is, the disk doesn't even appear when I boot the PowerBook with the option key. I need to select it on the startup disk preferences pane to make it work (so another boot volume is needed on the PowerBook). bless -folder "%s/System/Library/CoreServices" -bootinfo "/usr/ standalone/ppc/bootx.bootinfo" -label "%@" This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
