I've read a number of ways to do this, but so far nothing works.
I have a power mac dual G5, running tiger 10.4.11 at 2.5 ghz.
I am attempting to boot from a firewire driven WD Mybook, that I erased and installed tiger 10.4.11 on as a mac os extended/journaled volume.
The my book WD drive shows up under system prefs as a bootable drive, but when I choose it, the G5 defaults back to the main internal drive.
Holding down the option key when starting up results in nothing...the G5 won't start at all. Dittos for the command/control/shift/delete idea.
I would like to be able to do this, because I want to take my work and programs from one mac location to another.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
