It's worth reading the MacFixit user guide, however, as there remain some strange things with it that might surprise you.
BootCD would not boot my B&W; something about a video driver. Here's a solution that works every time - even from OSX:
1. Use Apple's Disk Copy (in OSX) and create an image from the OS9 CD. Make sure you specify 'CD/DVD master' from the popup menu or it will not be bootable.
2. Mount the image and toss out the junk you won't need (like the installer stuff).
3. Drag over items like your Norton SystemWorks folder (making sure that the Norton SharedLib file is inside the Norton Tools folder - you can find it in your Extensions folder).
4. Unmount the image.
5. Use Disk Copy to burn the image back to a CD.
*presto*
I make tons of bootable disk using just read/write format from disk copy. They work fine, bootable, modifiable, etc!! I have not tried to make an OS X bootable. The sad part of OS X is that OS 9 is much easier to deal with when there are serious hardware issues. Mostly because there are a lot more options for utiliies under 9, that have had years of development.
I think that the issue is really that OS X adds (finally) real hardware abstraction. That is to say that it doesn't programs other than the kernel and its extentions touch anything. It's like how a lot of hardware firmware updaters on the IBM/PC platform make you use DOS instead of Windows. In other words OS 9 runs without any protection from anything (which, incidentally is the main reason why it's faster).
..the reason you can't make an OS9 bootable CD with Toast under OSX is that it won't. Doesn't support it under OS9. Roxio says reboot into OS9, launch the app and it will work unless something has changed in the last month. You can do it with Disc Copy copying the system folder to an image and using the bless -system9 command in the Terminal.
What we need is something like this for OS X! Boot from the CD, it takes u into a generic OS X desktop env. with lots of handy disk-saving utilities. Even having IE on there would be handy for looking up info info online to help you save yourself =] Someone with some pacience to compile the package could do it though
We do. Its an Applescript Studio app called BootCD with which I made a bootable OSX CD with Disk Utility and the latest version of Drive 10 on it.
I would LOVE to be able to accomplish such a thing.. Someday there will be a real disk utility for OS X, and when there is, we need to be able to make our own custom CDs with it on there!!!
So can you help us out? Please???
Thanks, John-o
I have a CD that boots in OS 9 with my diagnostic utilities. I use this CD on client's Macs, so I like to keep the latest system and application updates on it. I created this CD in OS X. About once a month I make changes to the contents of the CD's disk image and burn a new CD. I did all this without using Toast or any terminal tricks. Here's how:
In OS X, mount a bootable OS 9 CD.
Open Disk Copy.
In the Image menu, select New Image from Device.
Select the CD.
Name the image, and use the CD/DVD Master format when saving the image file.
Eject the CD.
Now you can open the image file, rename it, and add or remove any files or apps you want. When you 'eject' the image, the changes will be saved.
To burn the image file to a disk, open Disk Copy again.
In the Image menu, select Burn Image.
Select your image file, and pop in a blank CD.
I tried it, and it works!!! In all honesty, I did not think this would work (apologies to mlbruce), but it does. I thought that surely someone would have thought of this before (apologies to mlbruce). The 'Install OS 9' CD that came with my Mac has OS 9.2.1 on it. After creating a successful boot-copy of this disk (with DiskWarrior on it too), I created another with the corresponding files from my OS 9.2.2 System Folder. It works like a dream. This one pointer by mlbruce will cause me to pay to support macoshints!!

When I follow your instructions, it works fine. The only problem is that the image is write protected so I am unable to modify the image. What can I do so that I am able to write to the image ?
Please email me at [email protected]
Originally I tried to make a copy of my DiskWarrior disk so that I could (1) add a copy of Disk First Aid to it, and (2) add a copy of the Disk Setup, and (3) eventually put an updated DiskWarrior application on it in case DiskWarrior were updated. However, that image was write-protected as you mentioned. Then I used the OS 9.2.1 install disk that came with my Mac and that image was not write-protected. So, I would just try another CD capable of booting your Mac.

Great, great ! I had just been wasting two CD's in a row using Toast when I saw your message. I tried your simple method and it works fine for me, no problem with locked disks (as other readers reported), I chose the OS 9.1. CD to work with.

I've developed a website like Ninite for Mac. It lets you install multiple Mac apps unattended and automatically, avoiding you having to go to the app website, look for the link to download, wait to download, extract the zip or mount the dmg, drag to the Applications folder, and then delete the dmg or zip. All this, if you take accounts and multiply by 5 to 10 apps that can be installed when we have a new Mac or reinstall the system.. it's a lot of time!
3 Steps total
Step 1: Go to macapps.link
Just open you're favourite browser and go to http://macapps.link
Step 2: Select the apps you want to install
In the website, select a bunch of apps and click de install button.
Step 3: Copy and paste the command in Terminal.app
Copy the generated command and paste it to Terminal.app. Press Enter and let apps to be downloaded and installed automatically.
Save time using macapps.link and use it to deploy the generated command to install or update apps in your company.

Can we have someone confirm this is not a Malware flogging site.
Or if in fact this even works. (I'm not going to risk it.) - Serranokh'ix Dec 8, 2014 at 09:15am
Haven't tried it either but if it's like ninite, it could definitely save some time, great tip. Thanks.

@Dane Ryan: Unlike webs like Softonic or MacUpdate, apps are downloaded from the official site. You can see the 'magic' behind if you go to, for example, http://macapps.link/es/firefox-chrome and see the script. If you look deep, the URL from which downloads the app is the official site (100% free of malware).
macapps.link generates a bash script and a command to download and execute this script. Just analyze the script and you'll see no trap :)

This actually looks kind of cool. Looks like it uses curl to pull the updates down to your computer via terminal app
- SonoraKorrosivo Dec 8, 2014 at 05:04pm
@Tom7741: Exactly. It uses curl and simple bash scripting to download, extract or mount the downloaded file and move the .app to the /Applications folder. Of course it is not so simple but it is that in essence. Glad you like it!

What apps love Spiceworks and should be included? Update comming :)

Great job. I have used Getmacapps.com several times but your site has more apps. If you could add Java it would be awesome!
- SonoraKorrosivo Jul 18, 2015 at 08:08am
@Michael3671 Thanks for your comments! Can't add Java because it's a .pkg and requires elevated privileges. macapps.link can only install .app files ðŸ‘x8D
