Thanks for your replies.  I'll try this later, after Apple replaces my hard 
drive.

I remember now that I had the same sort of problem putting Jaguar on my 
Lombard.  It had OS 8.6 on it.  Installed Jaguar by reformatting the drive 
from the CD.  And by default it only put the X driver on the HD!  So I 
could run Classic from within OS X, but I couldn't actually boot the full 
OS 9!  oops.  :)

I think there's a setting in the disk utility that says to put both the X 
and 9 drivers on the disk...

I have a 600mhz iBook (third rev, 16VRAM) that came with 9.1 
originally.
oops.  It's not an "old page" really, but yer right - per Apple's 
site, the iBook 500 (Dual USB) originally shipped with OS 9.1.  I've 
emailed Brock at EveryMac with the correction.

Thx for catching that!

I copied the System Folder from the CD and put it in my HD.  It still 
crashes during boot, but it works with classic.

I think I've read similar stories with 9.1 installer CD. Can you find a 
9.2
installer?

Cannot install OS 9

2004-10-21 Thread CJ 
I have an iBook/500.  I installed OS X 10.3 and erased the HDD.  I want to 
use a few classic programs so I tried to install Mac OS 9.1.  When I hold 
down the "c" key, the bar fills up halfway then says "bus error, hold down 
shift to disable extensions".  I held down shift and got the same result. 
Does anyone know what I can do about this?
