Mac OS X install question using target disk mode

[darrinaw]

Ok so I made the mistake of putting my powerbook G4 into target disk mode and then trying to reformat the drive for a fresh install of OS X, why you might be asking? I am not really sure either. I have a "updated" system disk which was a single user of 10.4.6.

SO the powerbook does not start using the 'c' button with the system disc in traditional way. I have put the powerbook into target disk mode and my mini reads it as an external firewire. I have even installed OS X on this drive (apparently can only boot from it using my mini).

My real question is: How can I get the computer to recognize the installed OS as the 'OS' to start up from? Any ideas?

Try opening the System Preferences application on your PowerBook's HD, select Startup Disk, choose the appropriate folder on your PowerBook's HD, and restart the PowerBook.

Have you tried holding down the option key while starting up?
