I think you have to install the OS 9 (on a separate partition would
be my preference), and make sure it is Blessed. Don't remember the
details, but it all occurs under the Installation OS 9 CD control as
I would do it.
Maybe a CCC clone of another OS 9 partition would work, too.
Not sure how Archive and Install handles the OS 9 ... I'm sure
someone else can help more ...
