I saw a thread a while back (here)<https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!topic/macos9/omLso5j1dkU> about OS 9 native boot on a FW800 MDD machine. I just acquired one of these and am curious if anyone got it to work. I very much need a native OS9 boot machine. Is the workaround on a FW800 G4 (mine's a dual) limited to the Tiger OS? I have tried the procedure of creating the Apple Partition Map new partition on a new HD, copying the contents of the OS9general.dmg to it. Installed the drive as the internal slave HD. Seems to work fine otherwise....but no luck on startup with the option key depressed-it only sees Leopard.
Was there an additional procedure to this? I'm willing to jump through a few hoops if necessary to get this going---if anyone can verify that it's something that can be (has been) done.
