I don't think the OS on your hard drive has anything to do with
whether you can boot from CD or not, you should be able to boot from
CD with an unformatted or even missing hard drive.

It does on my G4 too, which has never had anything other than 9.0.x
as shipped from Apple and then upgraded to 9.0.4 on it. I suspect
it's normal in 9.x.
>It reads cds fine; it just won't boot from it.
Are you sure the CD you're booting from will boot on your machine?
Can you boot with the CD that came with the machine? What type of
drive do you have, a standard Apple one or a third-party drive?
