Sounds easy enough, but it sure won't work for me! I boot my iceBook from the OS 9.2.2 disc, and start the install, but it says it can't find a valid destination volume. I then started up Drive Setup, and try to mount the hard drive, but it says it can't mount the drive. The only option I get is to initialize the drive, which I obviously don't want to do. Looks like a no-win to me. Any suggestions?
Had a similar problem on a G4 minitower (I know this is a PB list but this may help). On my G4 Powerbook 800 I did a clean install of OS 10.3.2, followed by 9.2 as I need a few apps to run in Classic. All OK. Tried the same thing on my G4 AGP (ex 500, now with Giga 1.25Mhz processor), and the thing locked up during the OS9.2 install again and again. In desperation, I copied the entire OS9 system folder off the Powerbook onto the G4 tower and . . . it works. I haven't tried booting in OS9 but I can run Classic in OS X.
