[X-HW] Open Firmware and MacOSX Related Question

[Rick Carlson]

No, it is a beige mini tower but with full color monitor. Both the built 
in video card and the added on ATI Rage 128 are in full color.

I can partition the hard drive any way I wish. So far I have done it in 
one partition and in two partitions. Right now I have it set up as two 
partitions with the first for OS 8.5 and the second for OS X.

When I install OS 8.5 on partition one everything works fine. But then 
when I try to install OS X it never gets past the OF error message.

So, I reinstalled OS 8.5 and when I reboot I get the OF error message 
but then it eventually boots into OS 8.5 This is why I think it is an OF 
  error.

Weird, eh?
