[Duo2400] Re: Start up problem

[Larry Friedman]

Most excellent C+O+S+Del worked to get me up off the external HD. Is it 
possible that when I partitioned my drive #2 was not set as a boot-able 
partition? If so how do I correct that? With OSX if you have two more 
than one drive holding down Option will allow you to choose which one 
to boot from, is there anything like that on earlier macs?
