[G4] Installing OS 9.2.2 on Mirror Door - Second HD

[James Asherman]

I have a Quicksilver and I don't use another drive for OS9
It's just there. If you want to install OS 9 standalone on your disk  
don't use software restore, use an OS 9 disk and update to .2.2 online.
anyway.: http://www.apple.com/support/macos9/
