This script has been a lifesaver. It provides me the confidence that I can keep an exact duplicate of my OSX /OS9 volume on a separate firewire drive and be able to boot from it when needed. In response to SWGS comments, I've discovered the same problem with the broken drive icon appearing. I solve this problem by insuring that I erase the firewire drive using the OSX Disk Utility and specifying that the "Installed OS9 drivers" is checked.
