I appreciate your advice.

I did as you mentioned and selected Hard Drive #1 in
my system preferences.  I locked it. so that it can be
the only bootable disk.

But whenever I go into  OS 9, and then want to reboot
back into OSX,   Hard Drive #2 is the only option I
can choose.  My primary Hard Dirve #1 is not listed
(which is the one I want to reboot back to, not Hard
Drive # 2).  It's just strange, but I guess it's no
big deal.  

Thanks a lot for your help and reply.
