or you didn't installed the OS 9 Drivers..what brings me to the point that you should include all information which could be necessary for us in your first post. thanks.
<strong>I know you can't have formatted your system with the UNIX file system. Make sure you haven't done this.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I didn't format with the UNIX file system. It is a Dual 867, with OS X 10.2.1. Shouldn't I be able to just put the 9.1 Cd in te drive, and doubel click on the installer? Or am I missing something here?
Hey, a dual 867 probably requires the latest version of OS 9 to boot (being 9.2.2). Newer hardware requires newer BOOT-ROM, which is available on any bootable cd-rom. I know for a fact that I cannot boot my one year old iBook 600 (half a year older than yours, I guess) into an old 9.1 system I had (from my Pismo). I can, however, boot into 9.2.2.
So: the answer to your question: get a bootable cd-rom of OS 9 that is not older than your system (younger IS possible).
I have no idea why, because I have done nothing differently, but it worked. I guess I beat it into submission. Who knows. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

you are trying to install it on what mac ?
and what's the error ?
and with what OS did that mac ship ?
could be firmware related.

boot from the cd. put the cd in the drive, restart and press "c" on the keyboard.

It will not boot from the OS 9 CD.
It will boot from an OS X CD, however.

<strong>How does one do it?
When I try to install from the OS 9.1 CD it won't let me....</strong><hr></blockquote>
Are you trying to install just OS 9, but not use OS X? The reason I ask is that "Classic" generally refers to 0S 9 running inside OS X.
If you are running X too, OS 9.1 won't work with the latest OS X -- you need 9.2.2.
