Because you can't run 9.1 on an OldWorld ROM (like what I'm guessing
that machine has).

You need to get the "Mac OS ROM" file from the system folder (should be
in the System Folder on the OS 9.1 boot CD). Put it into
/usr/lib/mol/rom, and specify 'newworld' as the boot method, and point
to the appropriate file for the ROM image. (I don't think it includes
strip_nwrom, and I don't think 0.9.58 needs it either.)
