Hi,
I've OSX 2.1 installed and OS 9.2. When I
open the startup disk control panel, I've
only two choices : startup from OSX or
startup from network, not from OS9.2.
Anyone has any suggestion to solve the
problem. Thxs! What a nice forum when
you're in trouble!!

A few thoughts...

Is it 9.2.2?
Did you do the install from the OS 9 CD?

I updated to 9.2.1 from the Apple support
website. I started the Mac up with my 9.1
startup CD.

Try booting from the CD and running the Startup Disk control panel there.

Also, make sure your OS 9 System Folder is "blessed" - that it has a little Mac OS smiley face on it.

Once you've booted back into OS 9, run Software Update a few times so that 9.2.2 is installed over 9.2.1.
