I have a nice PDF tutorial I downloaded somewhere with step by step instructions for making a bootable disk with Toast.
If anyone wants it I can mail it to you and maybe there's something I'm missing that you can figure out.

Hi,
I have a PTP 225 with Mac OS 9.1, a decent CD-R burner and Toast Deluxe
4.1.3. I want to make a CD-ROM that can boot the computer into Mac OS, like
the Mac install disks. The documentation makes it seem as easy as moving the
System Folder into the Toast window and selecting the option "bootable".
However, I have made "bootable" disks with my full 9.1 system folder, a 9.1
system folder stripped of all but the most basic extensions, even the system
folder that comes with the official Mac OS 9.1 Install disk. But all of
these disks either refuse to be recognized by the computer or crash the
computer after displaying the 9.1 logo, depending on what the computer feels
like that day. These same disks even crash my sister's NewWorld iMac. So
is it even *possible* to make a bootable disk on the PowerTower? Or just
not with 9.1? Would an older operating system, such as System 7.5.3, work
instead on the boot CD-ROM? Any help with this would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
