Dupe to seperate internal drive problem

[ArsMoriendi]

Hmm. I see the failed attempt in the offendingCommand log. So, giving it a manual try I got the error:

power-mac-g4:~ scoomey$ sudo bless -folder "/Volumes/Mac OS X/System/Library/CoreServices" -save9 -label "Mac OS X" -setBoot
Can't find IOService for disk1s9
Could not determine if partition needs booter
Error while updating booter for /dev/disk1s10
Can't find IOService for disk1s9
Could not determine if partition needs booter
Can't get Open Firmware information
Can't set Open Firmware

I tink there is something truly screwy happening with this drive. The error is referencing disk1s9, and this partition does not even exist:

power-mac-g4:/dev scoomey$ ls -l /dev/disk1s*

This disk *used* to be my main linux disk as of about a week ago. I've since fomatted it twice to put OSX on there (via SuperDuper). Maybe this is some phantom partition left over from Linux that OSX can't format??

Stumped!
