So now I have OS9.2 up and running. But when I want to boot from the CD it doesn’t work, I just end up in OS9.2. Help!
Note: One cool thing in OS9 is that files currently being downloaded with IE have a small progress bar on the file icon! Really nice!

So you’re basically saying that your iMac won’t autoboot from the CD? If I’m not misstaken I think you can press and hold a certain key when the computer starts to override certain things, one of them could make your day :-)
PS. Are you sure that the CD is bootable? ;-)
