[G4] Installing os9

[Bob Schmidt]

Hi All,

I have tried everything, I have a G4 agp, with 640mb of ram. Two disk
drives, one 80gb and the other 18gb. I have the G4 install version of mac os
9.2. It simply will not boot from the cd. I have "blessed" the disk with the
start up disk program, and it still won't work.

Thanks again,
Bob
