Ok, I have a Power Mac G4 which runs Morphos fine.

I installed OS X and created a 2.something Gb partition + a 60Mb Partition. Of course there is also the OS X partition.

I booted MorphOS cd and it booted up fine.

Further than that too many problems. I found a PDF guide but still had problems.

Is there some easy way?

I want to have the Mac as a dual boot OS X and MorphOS machine.

It currently has OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). So no boot camp. And it cannot run Leopard because its 466Mhz.


I think you're referring to http://dreamolers.binaryriot.org/dualboot.pdf as the pdf that tolds how to set up a dual boot system.
I think there is only one alternative to that approach: Get a firewire external hdd and install OS X on the firewire disk and MorphOS on teh internal disk. If you plug in the fw cable before powering on/reset OS X boots, if you unplug the cable MorphOS boots. Very clean separation, very easy, very handy, no delaying boot menu, but at the cost of an external drive. I use that solution and like it (but I very rarely boot up into OS X anymore, I think last time was somewhen in July or August)
