[G4] Installing os9

[SLarsonIH at aol.com]

If I recall, you install it while in OSX. My OS9 CD is a "Restore" CD which 
means OS9 is installed just like installing an OSX program. It is done within 
OSX.

So, it goes like this. You format your hard drive(s), and install OS9 
drivers. (I believe you did this) You install OSX. (You did this) While you are 
running OSX, you install OS9 to the hard drive of your choice. When done, you go to 
your OSX control panel and choose the OS9 system folder you just installed, 
to reboot into OS9. If you want a bootable OS9 CD, you make one. I use Toast 
and copy the system folder you booted into and copy it to the CD.

What does it say on your OS9 CD? My QS has to have OS9.2 and above to be 
bootable. My MDD requires 9.2.2  Models with FW800 cannot boot into any version of 
OS9. So my questions are: What model Mac do you have, and do you have an OS9 
install CD or restore CD, and what version of OS9 is on the CD.
