I used CCC to copy a fresh install of OS9 onto a new partition like I did before, but none of them will boot now. I have a MDD 867 DP. Does Panther only allow classic? WHen I startup with the option button pressed I get a couple of my partitions with OS9 system folders, but they won't boot right (gray screen with flashing disk and question mark). I have three HDs with multiple systems on them. None of the OS9 partitions work.
What version of OS 9 are you referring to? I have an older Server G4, also with three internal hard drives and multiple partitions. When I first installed Panther (directly, not upgrade from Jaguar), I could no longer boot into any of the OS 9 drives or partitions, all with 9.2.2 and numerous important applications. The symptoms were similar to yours.
In my random search on several OS X-related forums, I somehow learned that 9.2.2 was meant for the Classic environment within OS X, and not for parallel standalone drives or partitions. Out of desperation I retreated to 9.2.1 by reinstallation. Voila, all the problems are gone. Now the 10.3.5 and 9.2.1 partitions co-exist nicely.
