Hi Greg;
I'd try,
(1) boot 'normally' into X
(2) insert OS9 CD in drive, let it be recognized and mounted.
(3) Goto 'System Preferences', -> 'startup disk', -> select OS9 CD, ->
restart
This should let the machine boot off of the OS9 Install CD.
Good Luck
Chuck D.

Hi,
I'm the owner of a "new" iMac G3 (500) running Jaguar
with no Classic environment installed. I want to
install Tiger, but prior to doing so need to install a
firmware update that must be done while the system is
running OS9.
I have the original OS9 disk that came with the iMac,
and I tried inserting it in the drive and holding "C"
during startup to try to boot from that disk and
install OS9, but after a minute or so it skipped by
the disk and booted into Jaguar.
Is there a way that I can install the OS9 while
running Jaguar and then reboot into the OS9?
Thank you,
Greg
