If I want to run both OS's do I partition a drive,install OSX into the partition and then use it as a second start up disk?
I'm using a Quicksilver G4 733 - does my firmware need upgrading? thanks in adv j -------------------- Macbook Pro 2 ghz/15"/10.3.4/1 g RAM/x2 monitors/Logic Pro 7.2/Ableton Live 5.0/Reason 3/Fireface 800/PSP Vintage Warmer/Roland JD800/Roland SH101/Arturia Moog Modular/Epiphone Firebird 7/Guitar Rig/Dynaudio BM5a monitors.

If you want to have a double-boot system it is best and safest to have different OS:es on different physical drives, if you can afford it.
As for booting Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 on the same physical drive different volumes, it is possible but more difficult/unstable. The ordinary control panel i the apple menu for choosing boot-volume, doesnt work too welll in such a scenario. You can download an alternative control panel from the Apple website I forget the exact name of that control panel. ( Startup Manager - or something like that ) But that panel does a much better job of selecting the correct systemfolder to boot from. Plus it lets you choose to boot from Mac OS X as well.
