<Are you sure the OS 9.2.2 is blessed as Bill asked in an earlier post? 
Don't know if can you just copy a OS 9 System folder over into an OS X 
environment without a true install from the OS 9 install disk?

Perhaps a clean install from your OS 9 disk would be required. At this 
point that is what I would do  if you are sure the OS 9 System folder is 
blessed. But first, I'd bless the System folder.>

Yes, you can copy in an OS 9 System Folder from one Mac to another and 
expect it to run Classic under OS X, and boot the machine from its own 
partition. I know, because that's how I got OS 9 (both Classic-only, and 
boot-only) into that very same iBook in the first place. Classic ran 
great, and I was also able to boot the iBook in OS 9.

None of my various and sundry OS 9 install CDs will install OS 9 on my 
iBook, which I bought used on EBay and didn't come with any system disks. 
That's why originally, and now, I had to move OS 9 in by copying System 
Folders from my G4 (I do have system disks for THAT, but the OS 9 one 
wouldn't install on the iBook either).

Anyhoo, the issue is mostly fixed now, believe it or not -- I even got my 
little "9" back up in the menu bar!  :-)  I have one last problem with 
one app (all my other Classic apps open and run OK, I tested them), but I 
need to take that to the Claris Emailer list.

Thanks though!
