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

[wilkinw]

It's been a while but if you have the original disks you should be  
able to dig down deep into them and find the OS9 folder. OSX has an  
installer that does this but all it does is copy an already existing  
system folder from those disks. It has some weird name just can't  
remember what, someone else can probably shed a little more light on  
the matter.
