Alrighty. I've got it all worked out. A minimal OS 8.1 (That's really more
like 7.5) is installed, with no problems but a warning that it was meant to be
on a floppy not a hard disk that pops up on boot. I've got CD drivers from
the PowerMac 7200/90 I gave my dad for Christmas from OS 8.6, and I'm
downloading stuffit 5.5 now so I can unstuff bootx. Also my friend with DSL is
downloading OS 7.6 for me so I can use it later.
Thanx for all you people's help, and I'll write back more if I have troubles
with isntallation or bootx.
Thanx,
ES

Try booting with the CD already in the machine, and/or add some <BR>
relevant extensions like "Apple CD/DVD Driver" etc. That particular <BR>

Of course this is looking in a 9.x System Folder, though.<BR>
