I think the experts here need a little more info. In your earlier post you said you have an iBook. Is that a brand new, current model or an older, refurbished or used model? If new, that iBook will not boot in OS 9, and neither would the CD. If an older model iBook, what particular model is it? Also describe the CD you are talking about. Is it an Apple OS CD or is it a copy? If it is an Apple CD, is it an "Install" or a "Restore" CD? I think some restore CDs will not boot in OS 9, even on an OS 9 bootable machine. They boot in OS X and the OS 9 System Folder gets installed from there.
