Comment: I have found it impossible to install OS X on
an external scsi hard drive. In order for the
disk icon to appear on the desktop, the
driver software has to be in the system
folder so that the removable disk icon may
appear on the desktop and can be selected as
the "installation destination volume".
Unlike all previous OS installation CD's,
where the CD doesn't have to be the
start-up disk, and one can select the
destination disk or volume, the OS X CD
must be the start-up disk before the
installation can be made. So how in the
world can one install the OS X on an external
hard disk? Am I correct in concluding that it
can only be installed on the internal hard disk?

Reply: (edit)OS X's support for the native SCSI on older Macs is really questionable, doubly so if you're trying to install on something that isn't a hard drive. p
