i have (HAD) a bootable firewire drive, with 10.3 and 9.2.1.
i upgraded it to 10.3.4, and 9.2.2...and, even though the systems show up in startup disk, i cannot boot from either one.

i figured i needed to update drivers...?

is that it, and how do i do that?

or is there another way to bless both systems on the external drive??



thanx!

meanwhile...

my external firewire drive was bootable...for about two weeks.
seems my mistake was updating to 10.3.4 from my main drive.

when i try to startup from the ext. drive, i get the grey circle with a line thru it.

anything i can try to get this drive/system to boot?

(dont want to clone my powerbook system...)
