I've now updated the macOS version of this complete, prebuilt SheepShaver/macOS 9.0.4 system with many improvements. You can find it by searching for

Mac OS 9 for Mac OS X/macOS
(The forum does not allow direct links to prebuilt systems like this one.)
I was prompted to update the system after reading another thread started by a forum member who wanted to mount a CD image under SheepShaver. With the current version of this system, if you want to use a CD image for installing software or games, you can now drop a CD image on the application and it will prompt you to add it to the system. Choose the option to leave the image where it is and link it to the system. When you restart the system, the CD image will be on the SheepShaver desktop. Open the image and install the software.
To remove the CD image from the SheepShaver desktop, shut down the Mac OS 9 app, and move, rename, or delete the CD image. When you restart the Mac OS 9 app, the image will no longer be on the desktop.
Also, this system uses a SheepShaver build that does not have a working Preference pane, so no one will waste time setting preferences that the system doesn't use. Instead, hold down the Option key when launching the application for a menu of options, including one that leads to the basic "sharedprefs" file that the system uses to build a prefs file each time it starts.
Incidentally, the SheepShaver build in this system is based on current code, but with the Preferences pane replaced by a message explaining what to use instead.
