I want to burn a bootable CD with OS 9. Are there any conditions for it to work the way I want? Do I just burn a System Folder inside or what?

Well, all other things aside, if it is anything like making a bootable Zipdisk, then make sure you have a copy of the current MacOS ROM file on th disk, and use a MASSIVE cache file for the writer to use as a temp file so that you dont introduce ANY errors into the writing process, otherwise all you will have is a shiny new coaster for coffee cup.

Have a valid copy of the System Folder (generally you want a stripped system for this) and put it with the rest of the data you want on the CD (I'm assuming you're Toast) - make sure the System Folder is at root. Go to the disc info (I think) area of Toast and check the "Bootable" option.

I use a ZipCD with an extremely watered down version of Toast....almost like bread actually, but if you just drag your active "System Folder" on to toast, then that's all I've found I have needed to make a bootable disk.
