After installing OS X, my wallstreet boots perfectly, and runs OS X. However, after shutting it down, anytime I attempt to boot it, it gives me the floppy disk with a flashing question mark. I know this represents not being able to find the OS, but... I booted into OS X right after installing, so it can't just disappear. If I reinstall OS X, it will go into the OS right after installation, and then fail to do so in any future boots. This problem does not exist in OS 9.
