How to set the default boot drive

I have three boot drives on my Power Mac G5. One is Tiger on the internal factory installed drive. The second one is Tiger on an external SATA drive. The third is Leopard on the second external SATA drive.
When I boot the Power Mac, by default, I want to always boot Tiger on the external SATA drive, but when I boot the Power Mac the system seems to want to always default to the Leopard drive.
I've booted using the startup disk choice in System Preferences, but is that the correct way to set the default boot drive or is there some other way to set the boot drive preference?
My only other idea is to just reformat the Leopard drive, but I would still like to have a bootable Leopard just in case I want to use that.
Any advice?

The Startup Disk Pref Pane should make it permanent!?
Might try Resetting your Mac's PRAM, then set the Startup Disk Pref Pane again.

  • How to set the default boot kernel in /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d

    and without messing with /boot/grub/grub.cfg  ?
    I need this so that new kernels show up but do not change the default boot kernel
    Is there a way to do it by file name instead of position within the menuentry / submenu list?
    I found some ubuntu and fedora sugestions but all by position, none by name
    AND how to set the kdump kernel as the default?
    Arch is putting this kernel under a submenu - would this pose problems for setting it as the default?

    In /etc/default/grub you can use the name of your entry you wish to use as default
    GRUB_DEFAULT='Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel'
    You can tell grub to stop using submenus by doing:
    GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
    Or you can just make a purely custom menuentry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom if you'd like:
    menuentry "Other Linux" {
    linux <KERNEL IMAGE HERE>
    initrd <INITRD IMAGE HERE>
    EDIT: /etc/grub/default -> /etc/default/grub

  • Set the default boot.

    How to set the default boot to OSx? And what button is the "option" on my macbook pro 13 2011 ?

    If you installed the drivers sofftware then there should be a Startup Disk control panel in Windows. However, you can boot back to OS X without it:
    From Windows restart the computer.
    After the chime press and hold the OPTION (ALT) until the boot manager appears.
    Select the disk icon of the OS X volume.
    Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Once back in OS X you can use Startup Disk preferences to reset the permanent startup volume.

  • SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

    The radio button “Service” should not be visible.
    Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
    How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
    We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
    Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
    We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
    Kindly help out me ASAP.

    The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
    Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
    In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
    On the next line enter the default value within this range.  At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D".  This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
    If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
    Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record.  You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

    how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
    thank you

    There are a couple of ways of doing this:
    If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
    If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
    I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:

    May 2010
    Jun 2010
    How to set the default value to the current month (Jun 2010). I don't want to use "specific value". I want to use the "SQL Result" for populating the default value.
    Appreciate your help

    hi,
    you can create a Repository variable current_month with the expression as
    select to_char(trunc(sysdate),'Mon')from dual

    hope this helps.

    Select the strategy and click on settings. in that new entries, check the Acc Assg element, enter Settlement profile and mention accass category as reposnsible cost center.
    Save this transaction.
    Now create a project assgin responsible costcenter for the WBS element in the project buider and save the transaction.

  • How to set the default NetworkInterface for the default socket factory?

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to set the default network interface used by the JVM. I saw that you can specify the network interface when creating a socket. But my problem is that I dont want to change every socket creation in the application and even worse some partner's libraries wich I dont have access to code also create sockets. So is there a way to specify to the JVM wich interface to use by default? I didn't saw any System.properties to set this and my googling fishing didn't return anything usefull.
    Thanks

    By default it will use whichever one the routing tables tell it will give the shortest path to the destination. For globabl changes, adjust your routing tables. You can't do this from Java, you have to use whatever OS tools are to hand.

    If this is a type-4 JDBC driver, it could occur if the JDBC

    the Driver native layers(DBMS client lib or driver DLL)

    This is most likely caused by one of the following:

    Hello, Jenny I am glad you found your resolution. I too am having problems isung

    TestTableName="WIP_TABLE" URL="jdbc:oracle:oci8:@servername"/>
    My classpath sets my classes12.zip file first. My path sets %WEBLOGIC_HOME%\bin\oci817_8
    and %WLCS_ORACLE_HOME%\bin.
    Am I setting the right dll and protocol in my .dll? Where can I find documentation
    on these properties definitions?

    Its not CLASS_PATH it should be CLASSPATH.
    when you say oracle\bin and oracle\lib , on what driver is the oracle
    folder?I meant to say 'on what drive' not 'on what driver'
    you have to specify the full path.
    post your startup script here.

    1. Dont copy this file oci8jdbc.dll, to bin folder. Make sure
    you
    place
    <oracle_home>\lib in your PATH before starting the server. Make
    sure
    your
    ORACLE_HOME environment varable is set to <oracle_home> folder.
    eg. set ORACLE_HOME=c:\ora816 before starting the server.
    so you must have done something like
    set ORACLE_HOME=c:\ora816
    set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\lib;%PATH%
    2. double check if you set your CLASSPATH something like this,
    CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip;%CLASSPATH%
    in the server startup script just before starting the server.
    3. start the server the connection pool should work.

    copied the oci8jdbc.dll to the bea\wlserver6.1\bin. errors stillappears!
    my weblogic version is 6.1 and oracle is 8.1.6 .
    why the thin driver is ok but the oci driver can not work?
    I logined in the oracle website and look for the jdbc.but I find
    that
    jdbc
    all provide for jdk1.2 or jdk1.1. because the weblogic6.1 based
    jdk1.3.
    I
    think i can not use those drivers.
    I think my oracle driver is ok,because i installed the jboss and
    bas4.5
    in
    my computer. they all can use oci8 driver properly.and they all
    based
    jdk1.3.
    by the way. I 've tryed added the oracle\bin path inStartWeblogic.cmd,

    To use oracle oci8 driver:
    You should have classes12.zip in weblogic classpath.
    You should have ocijdbc8.dll in your weblogic path..
    You can download ocijdbc8.dll from oracle website.

    In /etc/default/grub you can use the name of your entry you wish to use as default
    GRUB_DEFAULT='Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel'
    You can tell grub to stop using submenus by doing:
