Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / April 2004Q: Selecting startup disk when booting
Is there a keyboard shortcut for selecting the startup disk when booting up? I have a Pismo with OS9.2.2 and OSX and would like to be able to select the startup disk without going through the whole booting process then changing the startup disk in the control panel and rebooting. I've Googled but cannot find anything about this. Maybe my Googling is not too good. Many thanks.

Holding down the 'Option' key when booting should allow you to select the startup disk. This is enough for me because I've got OS 9 and OS X on different partitions. I think that this will work even if they are on the same partition, but I'm not sure. >> Is there a keyboard shortcut for selecting the startup disk when booting >> up?
