[QUOTE="cradom, post: 47314, member: 305283"] I have an imac 333 with a 40 gig drive. Both os 10.3.5 and os9.2.2 are on the first <8 gig partition. Both boot just fine. I've tried it with 9 on another partition and it will not boot. I learned from several sources about the boot limit on the first 8 gig of the drive. This also applies to Yellow Dog linux (learned the hard way). As far as I know, this only applies to tray loading imacs. If otherwise works for you, go with it. [/QUOTE]
