There is a way around this that should work. I've done this several times. Make a 660 MB or so partition on your hard drive. Use Apple Software Restore under OS 9 to copy the entire OS X install CD to that partition, and then use XPostFacto to boot from that. This has the side benefit of making the install go *much* faster than when booting from the stock S900 8X drive - especially if you have a second physical drive to put the boot CD image onto!
