You know how in Disk Utility, it asks when reformatting a disk if you would like to install OS 9 drivers. Well is there a way to install these manually? What I want to do is to be able to boot into OS 9 on my Powerbook 12" and I suspect the reason it won't is because there arent any OS 9 drivers.

Actually I believe the 12" and 17" don't have the ability to boot into OS 9 anymore, since they were introduced this year.
