[G4] Swapping drives mirrored doors and FW800 dual processor G4s

[FERENCZY]

thats a good thing then. OS9 has/had a hard time with switching drives
between different models of macs-it installed too many machine-specific
files. os x, however, does a universal install, so everything should be
there for all supported machines.

therefore, i would suspect that it is a jumper setting on the drives that
needs to be corrected...

make sure that the jumpers are all set to "CS" or "cable select" and that
the boot drives are connected to teh end of the ata cable (thusly, "cable
select" will recognize it as master)
  also make sure that if you have multiple drives on the same ata bus,
they are all set to cable select.



hope this is some help....
