Hi Bernie, I can email you a small system start up folder that you can copy to a floppy disk and then start your machine with that. It has the hacked CD extension on it and a set-startup control panel. The folder is exactly 1.3mb and will just fit onto a floppy.
Or, you might try going to the "set startup disk" control panel on the drive you are starting with now and select the OS 9 start-up install disk that you put in your CD drive. When you re-start it should use that system disk to boot. I think your problem is most likely very solvable. Send me an email with your email or snail mail address and I'll get a small start up system to you, if you want it.
