Re: OS X install snafu

[Hazlitt Krog <tenon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Addendum: after several attempts, was able to boot the system from 
the OS 9.2 CD. Drive Setup 2.0.7 shows the internal Apple-brand SCSI 
hard drive to be "not supported" so I can't reformat the drive using 
this utility. I guess since I "accidentally" formatted it using OS 
X's Unix file system format option, the drive is now unrecognizable 
to OS 9. :: Hazlitt
