Hi Peter I've tried again with a couple of different methods, and even used another slightly newer iMac, got same results. i even tried booting into OSX, formatting drive (both with and without OS9 compatibility turned on) and used the HFS+ partition to do the (A)uto option in the installer. Got the same results, that the drive was busy along with the warning that it couldn't use the swap either (same problem, device busy). It also was unable to find the install CD/DVD media. Maybe this is something isolated to iMacs? Unfortunately I don't have another machine here at this time to test against as well.
