Haven't had success with the new cd either; tried to install mdk 4 times
on an ibook that had multiple partitions but it would always hang with
thing error.
For all your people that would not like to loose your 4 hour during macos9
install with all your prefences and installed programs, I recommend
booting with macos9 cd, adjust all your setting (desktop, network,
browsersettings, applemenu layout etc), then make a bootable cd with
toast5. If thing go wrong, boot with that cd (be sure DriveSetup was on
that!) format the drive and copy the entire CD onto that.
This way it saves you *lot* of time, you will have a decent system up and
running in 20 minutes.
After that, try again with mdk :)
I will try again with macos9 on one partition (i only tried with
macos9/macosx and then mdk).
PS the mdk team is doing a great job with mdk-ppc!
