OK, I have a cube with a 40gb drive and when I first installed panther I went in and formatted the drive but I didnt check that little box to install the OS 9 drivers figuring i would never need it. Now I want to run OS 9 and of course my cube wont boot to the OS 9 cd since the drivers arent there. Is there anyway to install these "drivers" without backing up and reformatting my entire drive???
Thanks in advance!
Justin

Not needed? Did you give up? How'd you do it?

Sorry, I STILL WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. I was talking about that post by itself, not the topic. If anyone knows how to get those drivers loaded I would really appriciate a response.
Thanks all,
Justin

OS9 drivers need to be installed at formatting time. I am not aware of any other way.
If you could clone your OSX setup to a second HD (FW or otherwise) that already is formatted with OS9 drivers, you could copy the system back after reformatting.

That said, the OS 9 drivers refer to that hard drive -- booting from an OS 9 CD is totally independent of how you formatted the hard drive! If you can't boot from the OS 9 CD, it's an unrelated problem. Of course, once you boot from the OS 9 CD, you still wouldn't be able to install to the hard drive that lacks the OS 9 drivers.
If you only need OS 9 for Classic, then you can just install anywhere and copy it over; the OS 9 drivers are NOT needed to run Classic within OS X.
