AFAIK you can't. You have to create a new volume, and copy over all the files.

K. I create a new volume and then copy? Bye the way what happened to my
thread about running OS 9 under SL?

Yes, once you copy open the system folder on the new volume and click on the
system file. This "blesses" the folder so the system knows to boot from it.
Or you could just add a second volume and not bother.

It does not work. I create a disk image, add it in the Sheep Shaver
prefs, quit sheep shaver and the new drive never shows. Also I am having
many issues with the Unix Volume. It seems like am always getting a
"can be found message" and I need to quit sheep shaver to get it back.

I have run SheepShaver for a long time with two mountable disks plus the
UNIX volume; works just fine.
Now if somebody could just tell me how to get Pro Pinball under SS to
access the CD drive so I can play the soundtrack...

Then you did something wrong.

Get used to it. I've never found the Unix volume to be very stable in
SheepShaver. It's very problematic IME.

For me the Unix volume works as expected. I even made an alias of some
folders on my OSX volume to keep on my OS9 desktop for easy access.

Keep trying. It works for me whether I create the disk from the SS prefs
or from the OSX Disk Utility. If done thru the SS prefs I have to erase
it to initialize first.

You should quit sheep shaver before adding any drives with the
preferences utility.
With regards to the unix disk drive, it isn't a foolproof way to
exchange files. (For instance, files with classic resource forks may not
copy properly to the emulated MacOS because it thinks it is copying from
a Unix system without rousrouce forks. (you can zip the file or other
method to package it then copy it to the MacOS and unpack it at which
point resource forks will be created properly.

I got it working know.

JF Mezei
you exit from SheepShaver. I have found the MacOS disks to easily
corrupt. And don't ever mount them on OSX (double clicking on them)
while sheep shaver is running, high risks of the disk becoming corrupt.

The first two lines define the two disks, and the fourth line points to
