Fixing my first iMac

[Kevin Willis]

I just picked up a "Flower Power" iMac 500 from a auction.  It had 
everything but a hard drive.  I installed a WD 40 GB HD and am trying 
to install OS 9.1 from a bootable CD.  For some reason, the computer 
doesn't seem to want to boot from the CD.  I have tried every pin 
combination on the HD that there is.  To be honest, I am not even sure 
if the CD drive is IDE or SCSI.  There is no power cable attached to 
it, and the cable that connects to it has 50 pins.  Is there a secret 
to getting one of these things to boot and install?

Thanks--
Kevin
