I think I caused this problem by choosing the network in control panel startup disk while in OS9, because the 10.4.11 or 10.5.8 didn't show in the selection pane. After the boot from "opt" key all's back to kinda normal. This machine doesn't show the other systems to boot from in start up disk mode while booted with the OS 9.2.2 disk, all my other Macs do.
