I recently installed OS X 10.1. I subsequently installed OS 9.2.1 that came with it.
Classic boots fine. I've installed and run everything from a variety of kids' games to Office 98 and AppleWorks 6.
BUT, if I set the startup disk to the OS 9 partition, the system freezes before happy mac. I can boot from the CD, boot into OS X. It requires a paperclip to reboot if I select the OS 9 partition.
Two partitions. 1 8 Gig partition for OS X, the rest (6.31 gigs) for OS 9. iMac rev B with firmware upgraded when I bought OS 9 originally a year or more ago. 160 MB RAM. I unplugged all the USB devices and ethernet.
I reinstalled OS 9 twice (even erasing the system folder). I reinstalled OS X. I haven't scrubbed the hard drives. Booting with the option key doesn't seem to do anything on my system.
Any help? Thanks,
Barry F.
