IMAC G3 333 OS 9 Reinstall

Hey guys,

I am having an issue reinstalling OS 9 after installing 10.2.

I love OSX but want to reinstall OS 9 on this machine, i've tried booting from the IMAC OS 9 restore cd, but it just gives me a smiling folder then a ?, the disc is viewable in OS X and the drive is bootable.

Do I need to wipe the hard drive before I can boot to the OS 9 disc?
I've cleared PRAM and cleared the nvram.

Thanks

yeah, that was it. found the bootable discs and i'm good to go

thanks
