You could try one of these custom-made bootable installers (the second
one is a newer version):

Oh, huzzah! Thanks, man, these look promising. I will investigate. I
did search the Garden for variations of "MDD OS9 Bootable" but never
saw these, so much appreciation for flagging them up to me.

 
Forgive me if you've already talked about this, but MacOS9Lives have a
bootable 9.2.2 installer ISO that will boot on unsupported G4 Macs.
It's commonly used for installing on G4 Mac Minis.

 
I have downloaded the "2014" iso from the Garden linked upthread, which
apparently originated from MACOS9Lives. I will burn to a CD and test it
soon!

Good luck with the install! I went and gave away my trusty MDD a few
years ago. I really regret that as they are such good looking machines!

 
 

On which I am now
typing my first Usenet post in over two decades!

 
Welcome back!

Many thanks!
