is there a way to have a dialog box popup on start up asking what OS i would like to boot up into?
I'm running Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and LINUX PPC.

any info would be helpful

cocoamix:
If you're running 9.2 and OS X, holding down the option key during startup will bring up a dialog box where you can choose 9 or X. This only works if 9 and X are on seperate partitions. I'm not sure if it would see a Linux partition. It definitely won't if Lunux is on the same partition os 9 or X.

psyjax:
You can get a bootloader like Yaboot. It will be a *NIX style text promp. It's usually used to boot Linux. But I had it on my comp. running only OS9 and OSX. It's a pain in the ass to install and to remove so I wouldent recomend it.

ravuya:
Yeah, Yaboot screwed up my partitions so I had to reformat. I don't recommend it.

the_black_angel:
Thanks holding down the option key works perfectly.

A quick question will FreeBSD work on my machine? maybe on a Mac OS X partition or a LINUX one?
