1. When you say "Mac OS Images" do you literally mean .dmg files? If so, that
will not work. You must run the installer on the disk you wish to run the OS
on. The .dmg files are meant for distribution of software, not as executable
volumes.

2. If the OS is actually installed on the the HD20 volume, it is possible that
10.1.5 is too old for your hardware. Which version of the OS came with your G4
on the CD's? That would generally be the oldest version of the OS that can
support your system.

Try erasing your HD20 disk and installing the OS from the restore CD's that
shipped with your G4 onto the HD20 disk. That should work.

The G4's have no issues booting from master or slave disks. Doesn't matter as
long as the drive works correctly and the right software is correctly
installed.

10.1.3 is too old to run your machine, most likely.

You need to install the version that came with the system, or a later release
in order for it to work.
