Ok, i was given a strawberry iMac, tray loading, to bring home and wipe and reinstall. Well I went to put os 9 on it and it says I need to upgrade the firmware, well I can't find it on the CD or online anywhere. Any one know where I can find it? The machine had 8.5 and I have a generic 9.1 CD

It may be one of the updates on this page:

If you haven't already wiped it, have you tried just installing the 8.6 update and then try to upgrade to 9? That might take care of it. Here it is:
