Blessing Cloned OS 9 System Folder
I seem to remember using a repair utility piece of software once (when I'd cloned over the OS 9 from a previous drive) which came up with a message that it was blessing my OS 9 system folder, but I can't remember which software that was, it was so long ago.
I have gone into Terminal and typed:
bless -folder9 "/Volumes/HD Volume/System Folder"
where "HD Volume" is my cloned volume name. No luck booting the cloned OS 9.
I have gone into the cloned OS 9 system folder and removed the Finder and System Files, closed the System Folder window, put those two files back into the System Folder. (It was something that several people seem to do when I googled "bless OS 9".) Still no luck.
I have tried simply copying the Finder and System files from the original to the clone on the desktop level. No luck.
Why is the OSX System Preferences able to see it as a bootable drive plus able to launch it in Classic Mode, but I can't boot from it? How can I make this cloned OS 9 boot?
BTW, the OS 9 version is 9.2.2, and I've not had any problems booting from the original OS 9 HD (nor any problems using that original OS HD for Classic Mode).
