No Yosemite in Startup Disk control panel on dual-boot System
Hey, have the mystery issue. Have MacPro3,1 - four hard drives, 8 partitions and 2 OSes.
Snow Leopard on my main volume, this is the OS I use for day in and day out service - also I can run my old graphics programs under Rosetta with it, so it's staying in use and that is set in stone. Have had this current install up for three years, it's well maintained with proper system scheduling and maintenance.. all is hunky-dory.
Last fall I took the Yosemite beta and installed that on one of the empty partitions on a second drive. It's installed and I just updated to 10.10.3 this afternoon and was dealing with the machine perpetually rebooting to 10.6 when the Yosemite installer finally quit. I want to set the machine so it will boot to Yosemite but in the Startup Disk control pane, the only OS that shows is Snow Leopard.
Thing is, I also have a MacBook Pro5,3 and it's got three OSes and four partitions and I have 10.6.8, 10.8.5 and 10.10.3 and that also has a very strange Startup disk panel, but at least I can bounce back and forth with the boot option correctly set.
I've tried resetting the PRAM to get the Startup Disk to add Yosemite to the list of bootable volumes, but it's stubbornly refusing to.
Is there a terminal command that I can run in Snow Leopard to bless the system folder in Yosemite so it will be visible to Startup Disk?
Thanks!
Deb.
