A little progress....

As noted in the previous post, I was encountering great difficulty in 
getting a system to install.  I tried a little trickery. I copied the 
System Folder from the OS 9.1 install CD to the SCSI drive by dragging 
it over.  It would not work when I tried to drag the entire folder.  But 
did work, doing one file at a time.  It automatically blessed itself.  
Of course the computer would not boot from it.  It told me that system 
folder would only boot from the media on which it originated or 
something to that effect.  However, upon rebooting from the CD it 
allowed me to do a clean install over top of it.

I have booted from it twice now, with nothing strange happening.  Oh joy!

Will run Disk Warrior, then pop a RAM sandwich in and let Ramometer run 
while I celebrate with some Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
