Running Sonnet L2 G3 upgrade extentsion before BootX

[Halvor]

Hi, as usually when I reply on this list I do not have all the details here=
,
but I have used the same G3 upgrade on a 9500 where instead of using sonnet=
s
system extension I used powerlogix=B4s profiler software
This one I think:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6818
Or this one
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/2691

Which cooperates with bootx on the cache setting

Or something along those lines, maybe sort of..... It worked fine though
