The partition that 9 needs to boot off must have the Mac OS 9 drivers installed. USB is not X bootable on PowerPC, but has limited 9 compatibility, and generally is really slow, at USB 1.1 speeds. It is far better to boot off Firewire than USB. Oct 22, 2013 If you are in a hurry to try OS X 10.9 Mavericks, but you want to have the option to easily go back to your old OS X, here is how to install it on a new partition.

does OS 9 need to be in partition 1?
I was planning to do the following
3 partitions
1st OS X
2nd misc - mp3s, movies, etc...
3rd OS 9
If I need to press D to boot into the first partition that will always be OS X.
Then, how would I be able to boot to OS 9 in my third partition.

I presume (hope) that the Open Firmware Password App stops this from working.
But anyway you can still boot into 9 if it's not the first partition by holding ALT down at startup and selecting it.
Although I find it infinitely quicker to just select it from the System Preferences and hit restart.
1. Get LaunchBar
2. Hit Command-space
3. Hit S T A
4. hit return
5 click OS9 disk
6 restart
It might look like a lot of steps but it's still faster than waiting for firmware to find all the available disks. And I can leave the OF password in place too.

You heathen! Alt key indeed...
In any case, on existing computers OS 9 will always be bootable! We shouldn't worry about that. Apple's statements that Mac OS 9 will someday not be bootable is exactly what Apple's been doing as long as I've been using Macs. Put a System 6 disk from my Macintosh SE into a Color Classic, and you get the message to the effect, 'Sorry, you must boot this Macintosh using System 7.1 or higher.' Similarly, I doubt trying to boot my G4 from 8.5 would work.

I've got news for you, my G4 doesn't even recognize OS9.1 as a valid system !
To bypass firmware checking of available disks, just click (and hold) your mouse as you hold ALT.
That way, firmware doen't look for any new system disk than those already available. Choose your partition, and just boot up.

Or get Fruit Menu, choose System Preferences -> Startup Disk, choose OS 9, hit restart!
I wish everyone would stop calling the Option key ALT... this isn't a PC! ;)
Not sure about Pro keyboards but on a Powerbook Titanium the 'Option' key IS Labelled 'alt'!!
Every desktop Mac has had the key labeled Option, with 'alt' in small letters above it. But the proper name is Option. Just as the 'Apple' key is called the 'Command' key. Back with the Apple II, you had an open apple and a closed apple key. The 'alt' label goes along with several other IBM keyboard labels, such as 'del' on the forward delete key, and 'num lock' on the 'clear' key, which never did anything until OS X. Also notice that the Delete key is called backspace on PC keyboards. This started with the extended Apple keyboard.
My Mac portable has an Option key, which does not say 'alt' and my Mac Pluses have no Option or alt key at all. Delete was backspace back then also. Just FYI.

Crikey! Didn't mean to cause such a rumpus with one slip of the keyboard. The fact is on the keyboards I use it is labelled alt. I've been using macs for about 5 years now and I do generally call it the option key, the same way I call the command key the command key. But in certain situations, like when talking to a pc user at work (steadily trying to persuede them to go mac) I do dumb down occasionally and use Apple-key because it has a picture of an Apple on it. And I use alt because it has the word alt written on it.
I just used alt this time because I was in that thinking mode. You can't possibly say it is wrong any more than you'd say typing * is incorrect (it's actually shift-8).
You say tomayto, I say tomarto, you say chips, I say crisps, I say chips, you say fries, what the hell do you call fries?

I agree.
How about this question. What are the name of those keys with the F on them (top row on _ALL_ keyboards).I did not have a reason to notice them until I became an operator for an Insurance Company and I was taught that they are 'PF' keys (Pee-Eff). That stands for 'Programmable Function'. A host screen can allow a specific PF key to do a specific function and that for all intents and purposes the PF's for each screen/program can be different. That Mainframe Design was around LONG before PeeCees came into existance. Once I noticed/used those 'PF' keys on the Consoles/Dumb Screens/Terminals, I then did notice the F keys on my Macs and PeeCees and wondered where the 'P' in 'PF' went to?
While we all want to know the 'why' for things but this is NOT the place for it. How about what is a boot, a bonnet or a lorrie?! That would be the trunk, hood and flat-bed truck for most Americans. Another one: Why are Canadians taught that Z (Zee) is Zed? Don't we all speak a manner of English? Yes, wee do but I speak American, he speaks Canadian English (probably just more proper English) and the poster above (most-likely) speaks 'The Queen's English' (British). If the key is 'Option' is is also 'Alt' and 'Apple' is also 'Command', and DANG-IT, each use is correct.
Unfortunatly, I have to stoop to your level to show you that this is incorrect. So I wonder if this will be taken as constructive or inflammatory.
Ok some more:Why do People from Wisconsin call Soda 'Pop' or do I have it wrong? Gosh, this can go ON AND ON AND ON.Leave it be. And this line of questioning is nothing compared to the question: mac, Mac or MAC?

Those are 'Function Keys.'
Go to the Keyboard pref pane and you will see them listed as that.
Unfortunatly, I have to stoop to your level to show you that this is incorrect. So I wonder if this will be taken as constructive or inflammatory.What we decide to call the keys might not be what Apple calls them. Even if we don't know the proper name, it has an official Apple name. That was my point. Apple never uses the name 'alt' in reference to Mac OS, even if they print the name on the key (which is think is to aid former Windows users).
How To Partition For Os 9 And Os X 2

Wasn't trying to start a rumpus! :)
FWIW, *I* was just trying to cute when I said 'heathen,' and not start a rumpus or accuse anyone of being wrong :-)
does OS 9 need to be in partition 1?
No. Unless you want to press D...
If I need to press D to boot into the first partition that will always be OS X.
Then, how would I be able to boot to OS 9 in my third partition.
I have a similar setup. Three partition, OS 9 on the first one, OS X on the second one, and the third has applications and stuff.
When I want to boot into 9, which is mostly only to run Cubase, I either change it in the Startup Disk pref, or hold down the Option key at startup, and choose the OS 9 partition. The Startup Disk is the faster way to go, unless you are starting from a cold boot.
If you already have 9 set as the startup OS, you can hold down the X key to boot into OS X.

What would be the best way to do this on a new DDR G4? I heard that you can only install OS 9 if you do a complete software restore. If you create a small partition for OS 9 there likely won't be room for a complete software restore.
The best thing to do if you want the D key to work, I think, would be to partionate with the OSX CD and than put a restore on the second partition (or the one you want OSX to be). Then, move the OS9 System Folder, the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and all OS9 related folders to the first partition (you may need to be booted on the CD or logged as root to do this)
A while back a big list of keyboard shortcuts was publised on this site. One of the items listed is that if you hold the option key during boot up, you get a list of each available partition and a chance to pick one to boot from. If you've got multiple drives setup, this is the easiest way to choose on the fly.
The site I found this on is: http://davespicks.com/writing/programming/mackeys.html
The thing is, the Option, or Alt, key doesn't work on all models on Mac (like Power Macs G3, some iMacs and PowerBooks) so with the D key you can still boot in OS9 without having to go to the Startup Disk Control Panel if you have one of these models. The site I found this on is: http://davespicks.com/writing/programming/mackeys.html
Also, it takes less time doing this than Option since it goes directly to the first partition while with Option, the Startup manager search every drive available and even if they are all listed, you have to wait until it has finished completely.
And yes, OS9 must be on the first partition, otherwise, you'll boot in the OS installed in that partition.

I believe Option wont work if OS 9 and OS X are on the same partition.
Even if they are on separate partitions, Option won't work on those models.
How To Partition For Os 9 And Os X 7
Hello,
I have a G3 beige Mac, logic board revision 1, 266MHZ processor, 6MB Video RAM, 416MB system RAM, 120GB hard drive, OS 9.2.2. I could be using the G5 with OS X in the next room, but it's just too much fun pushing my G3 to the limit and using applications I'm much more familiar with as I get used to the OS X ones. I've run into a snag though. I can't run QuickTime 7 on OS 9.2.2 as it's only compatible with OS X. As the G5 in the next room is a family computer and is used alot, I've decided that I want to try to get OS X to work on my G3 so I can boot up in OS X when ever I want to enjoy the H.264 format that QuickTime 7 offers, but I want OS 9.2.2 to still be on the computer so I can boot up in that and use OS 9.2.2 for everything else. OS 9.2.2 would run everything else faster on this computer anyway.
*What I need to know is the propper process I need to go through to make my computer able to boot up in OS 9.2.2 or OS X from the same hard drive.
*I also need to know if either of the versions of OS X available to me would work on my computer. If not, would any of them work by adding patches?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*Should I use either Panther or Tiger?
*Do I need to partition my hard drive? How can I do that? I don't see partitioning as an option anywhere in the settings, nore does a 'Mac help' search return any results on the subject.
*Can I just install OS X on my hard drive with OS 9.2.2 already on there and the computer would sort of autimatically partition it self?
*If so, how can I then go about choosing which OS to boot to?
*Do I need to install OS X first and then OS 9.2.2?
*If so, what would be the exact process?
Please help and thank you very much for your help and reading this far!
