Installation ignored; J700 reboots into OS9 |

Hi- I have a UMAX J700, XLR8 carrier card, G4 400 ZIF, four internal SCSI drives, internal CD-ROM, internal CD-R. The hard drives are the original 2 gb Quantum, 2 gb Barracuda 7200, 4.5 gb 10000 RPM IBM Ultrastar, 4.5 gb 7200 rpm Western Digital. All but the original hard drive are 68 pin, with 68-50 pin adapters, and all hard drives are connected to the internal bus. The two CDs are connected, internally, to the external bus. I am currently running OS X from the 2 gb Barracuda, but want to install and run OS X from the IBM Ultrastar. So, I reboot in OS 9, use XPostFacto to select installation to the Ultrastar, it writes the files it needs to write, reboots... and OS 9 comes back again... the Ultrastar is ignored. I try again (using versions 2.2.1 and 2.2.4 of XPF) with the same results. Then I decide to use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the OS X installation on the Barracuda to the Ultrastar. The cloning seems to go fine. I reboot into OS 9, use XPF to select the Ultrastar as the boot drive, restart... and the J700 boots right back up into OS 9 again. Any suggestions? Thanks... |

Well, I actually got it up and running, thanks to some advice from the Supermacs (Umax clone) listserve... It was suggested that I boot back into OS 9 and use OS 9's Drive Setup to initialize the Ultrastar, then go back and re-clone. Apparently the Disk Utility is OS X doesn't always do the correct job for initializing drives for use in Mac clones... In any event, I did that. Afterwards, XPostFacto told me that the boot-device for the Ultrastar was scsi-int/@6:6, versus the 6:9 it was before.. whatever that means. But, it booted just fine... I didn't need to bless the disk as suggested by danaljohnson... |

I just worked through the same problem. I presume you are using v2.0 Carbon Copy Cloner. I cloned a 4G Seagate to a 8G I BM. I had two problems. The IBM was a 68->50 pin adapted drive. I didn't understand the jumper labels and had set "Single-end" because I didn't realize that meant to enable termination. I found a good description of the drive and fixed the jumpers. But that still didn't solve the boot problem. Cloner has a feature to bless oldWorld Target disk (in the File menu). That is what I needed to do to allow my computer to boot on the cloned volume. BTW, before I fixed this, I got diagnostics at the beginning of boot up (screen was gray) indicating "no bootable partition" before the computer would give up and boot into os9. One last point.... the first time I tried to bless the new disk with cloner, it failed because it couldn't unmount the disk. I used disk utility to unmount and then remount the disk. Then cloner would do the blessing. |

For the drive that will boot (Seagate Barracuda): boot-device: scsi-int/@5:6 boot-command: 0 bootr -v auto-boot?:true For the drive that is ignored (IBM Ultrastar) boot-device: scsi-int/@6:9 boot-command: 0 bootr -v auto-boot?:true |

What does XPostFacto say for the boot-device of the different drives? |
