I copied a 9.2.2 system folder from my PowerBook DVI to my flat screen iMac. It contains specific combinations of preferences and extensions that I want for the boot system on the iMac. Unfortunately, this copied system folder won't boot. It boots fine if I copy it to my daughter's PowerBook. I suspect that it has to do with the ROM files and perhaps other files that are unique to the different machines. Just what determines whether a system will boot from a given machine? I would like to modify the system folder so that it can be booted from the iMac. For probably the same reason, I can use my external firewire drive with this sytem folder to boot my PowerBook. But the firewire drive won't boot the iMac with that system folder No problems booting with a system folder copied from the iMac.
So my question is: How do I modify a copy of the system folder created on my PowerBook with all of its preferences and extensions, so that it will boot the iMac?
Thanks
