This is not a question, but an answer as to how to install from a computer specific install disk.
Edit: For instructions as to how to install from the install disk, go here. ( It is easier to do it my way, but you need the restore disk, not the install disk )
First off, you will need, not the computer install disk, but the computer restore disc.
Start up SheepShaver using the restore disk.
Once SheepShaver has started up, it will ask you to initialize the disk, do so. ( Either format works, but extended is better )
On the computer restore disc you will see a folder called configurations.
In that folder will be a disk image.
Open it, and copy all it's contents to the hard drive.
Open up the start up disk control panel, and select the hard drive.
Restart.
This should allow you to install from any computer specific restore disk.
( I had to do this because all my universal OS 9 install discs were 9.1 )
Note to Admins: You should give a link to the topic I linked to up top, as when I first looked at this forum, I couldn't find the information to install from a computer specific disk, and it said in most of your posts that it couldn't be done.
