| Hi, I just installed OSX and I also used Disk Utility to initialize the whole HD and pade 2 partitions. One for OSX and one for OS9. I can run OSX just fine; in fact I am in it right now. The problem is I don't know how to install OS9.1 so I can use Classic. I tried starting up (pressing c while starting up) with the OS9.1 CD but it loads OSX on HD instead of the 9.1 on the CD. I appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.  |

| Try it again, this time *don't* press C. If that doesn't work, hold down option & select the CD from the Open Firmware boot screen

| And when I click "Install Mac OS 9.1" in the OS9 CD-ROM, it tries to load Classic but fails (obviously). |

| I tried pressing opt while booting up. Screen came up with an "rotation" icon, "arrow" icon, and the drive that's selected. I pressed the rotation icon several times but it only showed the hard disk with OSX on it. I use a PowerBook G4 with DVD-ROM drive, if that matters. Any more suggestions? |
