 Unfortunately here,you will have to have a minimal install of OS 9.2.2
or 8.6 either will work just fine to have BootX installed for boot
choice.
 That wasn't needed on the ibook because the openfirmware on board,
classing it as "NewWorld Architecture" Where as the Wallstreet, like
mine is "Old World" Meaning no bootable firmware.. Take a gander @
Lowendmac.com for some good reading..
