Resetting the NVRAM didn't work, but holding down the option key for the boot manager works.

But the MacOS 9.2.2 Disk Setup doesn't recognise the free space. I tried to make a new partition with Mac OS X disktool, but it only displays the dreaded "rotating balloon".
Any suggestions?

If you survived last night's Monsterdon, you'll understand why I had to write the #scifi folk tale I have on Kickstarter right now.
I'd appreciate your help purging this abomination from my psyche. Thank you.

Alexander ShendiWould an #introduction be in order?

I was born in #1964 already as a baby #Boomer. Some say that was a great mistake.
In 1998 I started roleplaying (or was it roll-playing?) and was introduced to AD&D. My favorite system is #SavageWorlds, at least when I'm the GM. Systems I'm also into at the moment: #SLAIndustries #DeltaGreen #TheYellowKingRPG, #Traveller.
Other things I like:
* #RUNBSD, #OpenBSD and #9front
* Weird programming languages
* retrocomputing

Apparently it worked!
But I can't boot 9.2.2 from CD anymore.
Will try to reset the NVRAM!

Thank you!
Currently downloading.
I'll finish my backups and try it out.

Alexander ShendiAnother #retrocomputing question:
My "new" old iBook G4 has a 120GB hard disk, which is entirely allocated to Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard". I want to set aside 10 or 20 GB for Mac OS 9.2.2 "Classic". I can boot from CD into Mac OS 9.
Now I need a tool to resize the partition, preferably without destroying the Mac OS X partition.
I disabled journaling on the start drive and tried the following:
1. resizing with disktool
2. resizing with iPartition
Both don't work.

Alexander ShendiI have (of corpse) backups of:
1. My home directory
2. /opt (macports)
3. MacOSX Software that I have installed
Is the solution really to repartition the disk and reinstall everything?
Thanks in advance. Please be so kind to boist
