Quirks

  • If Mac OS 9 is installed through unsupported means, the built-in speakers don't work.
  • If Mac OS 9 is installed through unsupported means, it will not appear in Startup Disk in Mac OS X, so a shell script needs to be used to set the correct boot parameters.
    • #!/bin/sh
      sudo bless -folder9 '/Volumes/Classic/System Folder' -setOF
