Hi,
I'm struggling to install Mac OS 9.1 on my 6100. The only CD-ROm drive I have is a third party one and I cannot make it boot from the original Mac OS 9.1 install CD.
I also cannot install OS 9.1 from the mounted CD without booting from it because the 6100 currently has OS 7.5 installed (readme says I'd need to boot 8.5 for that to work).
So I copied the CD's contents to a Jaz disk. If I boot from the Jaz I get a message that I need to boot from the original CD - aaaah. Is there a way to disable the CD check on a copy of the CD? There must be something in the System Folder of the CD which does the check.
Any help is appreciated.
Best, bob68
