Re: no dual-boot after (re)install on ibook G3
two ways I know to bless macos;
I have occassionally had to as maconlinux deblessed.
(by the way did you try starting mac os with that ?)
you have a macos boot cd, you need that .(even the
incomplete 9.2 upgrade cd that came w/ 10.1) boot
from that.
if in macos 9, look at the system folder
on your hd does it have a smiley icon. open
and close the folder, if not. if still not,
try removing the System file from the system folder
and dropping it on the closed system folder. or
put in an inner folder such as fonts, then move it
back. you can also move Finder but System is
reccommended.
if in macos X (borrow a boot cd if you can find one
even 10.1 would do I think, sometimes you can buy
those for $5). use bless command in terminal.
i can't tell you the exact syntax right now but
if you have that way to go, let me know i can
look it up (I am mostly like working on a mac9/deb4
system myself or even mac8/deb4 but i have macX.2
using some...). careful though it may depend on
which version of macX you have it boot with.
(everything changes at X.3 panther which is why I
quit them).
