Hi there,
I am trying to get a trippeboot working on my G4/Mini. I did several attempts in several ways but it never worked in real trippleboot. I want to install MacOS9, MacOSX and Morphos on the local hard drive.
I need 4 Partitions
60 MB MOS Boot
15 GB MOS System
15 GB OS9
15 GB OSX Panher
If I partition with OS9 I get OS9 and Morphos working. If I install OSX then OS9 is not bootable anymore. If I load the OS9 CD I get "volume not mounted". Seems that OSX Panther is killing it when it installs on the partition I created before with OS9.
Same thing when partitioning with OSX. After installing OSX and MOS and booting the OS9 CD always tells me that the volume is not mounted and after I click initialize to get OS9 installed the partition table is destroyed and only OS9 is bootable. OSX and MOS had to be installed again and as you now, after OSX installation OS9 is broken again.
It seems to me that the issue is, that OSX does not support OS9 driver installation for the hard disk and it seems that it removes the OS9 driver from a previous OS9 installation. That's pretty bad. Seems that even a dual boot for OS9/OSX is not possible on a G4 Mini. I am not talking about classic, I am talking about the hacked OS9 for the Mac mini.
Any ideas what to try next.
Thx! Doc
