Okay here's my deal. I've got this G3 Mac upgraded to a G4 (it's the blue & white). Got plenty of RAM (over 700 I think) and I'm trying to install OS X on an external SCSI HD. This external HD is used as a system backup drive. It has OS 9 already installed on it; a fresh version. So when I install X on the external, it works just fine. When I switch back to the internal HD running OS 9, the computer refuses to start up from the external drive, in either OS 9 or X. If you set it to start up from X, it'll just start up with the internal's OS 9. If you set it to start up from the external's 9, it freezes at the happy mac screen.
Anyone have any input? I know it's sort of vague and all, but if anyone has any ideas, they'd be appreciated. Thanks.
(I think this topic is a FAQ, but if it should be a how-to, let me know and I'll change it.)
