Wierd yellow firewire sign when testing target mode
I created two partitions on my Lacie Porshe 160GB drive. One called "Image" for the entire bootable image and one called "Backups" where I plan on storing future user file backups. I created a full backup image of my 15" Powerbook hard drive onto the Image partition.
When SuperDuper! was done I mounted the Image partition and saw that all my files were there along with all the OS X system ones. The last step of the image process was to make the image bootable. I reboot the Powerbook and hold down T to test the image and try to boot off of it. But all I see is this yellow firewire logo bouncing around and nothing else happens. Does this mean that my image is not bootable? First time using SuperDuper! and firewire target mode. |
We've made the image bootable, chemokid, but only in the sense that it's set up as a bootable volume should be.
But -- you can't boot from a virtual drive, which is what an image is. You can only boot from a real, physical drive -- an internal or supported FireWire drive for PowerPC Macs, or a FireWire or USB drive for Intel Macs. Your image can be booted from once it's restored to a real device. See the User's Guide for a lot more on this topic. |

Good catch, Mike -- if, chemokid, you didn't make an "image" (meaning a sparse image)... did you?
