Here's the kicker: I've even used 'ResEdit' on a separate Mac OS 9 installation to remove the 'xboo' resource that checks for media type from the program '/System Folder/System', copied the contents of the install CD to a folder, replaced '/System Folder/System' with the modified version, created a new. I have made sure the image is 'locked' before writing the USB disk, set the image permissions to 'r- r- r-' and formatted the USB disk as 'Mac OS Standard' (HFS) before writing, and I still receive the message.

While unlike the case in the above post I can actually get my 9.2.1 installer USB disk copy to boot, the 8.6 installer copy refuses to even be recognized in the boot selection menu (Option on boot) and when I boot the 9.2.1 USB installer I receive the infamous 'The system software on the startup disk only functions on the original media, not if copied to another drive.' message.ДЄgain using my CD-R drive is out of the question. I Have the retail (Green 8.6 disc with large 8 and picture inside the bottom loop) OS 8 install disc as well as the retail 9.2.1 universal install disc (with the large orange 9 on the label), however the CD-R drive is completely shot, as mentioned in the above linked post it can read discs, but it cannot initialize a boot disc, and takes an hour to recognize/20+ min to read a disc sector so the direct disc installation option is completely out. I have tried every method of creating the USB copy of the installer, which I mentioned in paragraph three of this post: Install OS X 10.0-10.3 from USB on New World Mac? for the Mac OS 8.6 and 9.2 discs as well. I need an OS installed and the only alternative to Mac OS 8.6/9.2 or OS X 10.1-10.3 that is eligible for this machine is PowerPC Linux, of which I can only install a CLI (Command Line only Interface) copy of Ubuntu, which I heavily prefer not to use.

Here's the situation: I have an iBook G3 Clamshell 233MHz 265MB SRAM 16MB VRAM with 1xUSB 1.1 port.

I have submitted a Similar question pertaining to the installation of OS X 10.1-10.3 via USB disk in the 'Mac OS X 10.3 & older' section, so if you have insight into that please also reply there.
