From Mac Help (10.3.9)
If you are unable to start up in Mac OS 9 after you have reformatted
your hard disk using the Mac OS X Disk Utility, you might have
inadvertently erased the drivers that are required for your computer to
start up in Mac OS 9.
To fix the problem, you need to reinstall the Mac OS 9 drivers using
Disk Utility.
To install Mac OS 9 drivers using Disk Utility:
In Disk Utility, select the disk you want to erase and click Erase.
Select the checkbox labeled "Install Mac OS 9 Drivers."
Click the Erase button at the bottom of the Erase pane.
You can find Disk Utility in the Utilities folder inside your Mac OS X
Applications folder.
Another remote possibility for problems is that you may have chosen UDF
file system for formatting/erasing rather than HFS+?

into os 9 and install it this way

Hi, me again on this QS business!
I installed Tiger ok on the internal ATA 60g. I could not work
out how to partition the disk as I wanted so I just said bugger
it and yes to everything and it fires up fine in X. But I really
want to run this QS in 9 for a while to get on with my work with
my 9 apps (I know about Classic... but don't worry about this).
I seem unable to install 9? When I put in the grey "Power Mac G4
Mac OS 9 Install" cd that has 9.2.2 - this CD was part of the
original set that came with an earlier X set of install CDs with
the computer), it starts from it fine but does not see any hard
drive at all to install it on. This happened even before I put
on Tiger and after it. The HD is there and can be seen by AP and
Disk Utilities etc but does not mount? How do I get 9 onto this
fancy machine? Please? How do I wipe the whole hd and partition
when I seem unable to get the HD to show up unless it is the
startup disk? I have nothing but CDs, DVDs, and the actual one
ata internal to start it at the moment. Any ideas? Anyone on
this list actually got a QS of roughly this type (933, 2MB
backside cache)?

BTW, Why can't the hell I drag 9 system folders onto the hard
disk (when started in X from the HD) and like that and then pick
it in the startup, restart and bingo have 9? Like I have always
done for years on 7600 and 7300s...?
