Cant Boot ibook g3

ok, right now, list unfortunate series of events leading bricking of old ibook g3.

trying able run classic mode under tiger, but, me being lazy, decided forgo process of backing tiger, installing mac os 9, reinstalling tiger on mac os 9, etc etc etc...

dragged system folder on install disk. worked until got point @ startup screen, error message popped saying system software working on startup disk.
now, gets stupid.
somehow, through lapse of logical thinking, decided fix booting via mac os 9. set target system folder, , lo , behold! same problem.
thought, ok, alright, i'll restart in tiger , try install mac os 9 hard way.
well, didn't work. because os 9 folder target startup disk.

fortunately though, able locate firewire cable , use target disk mode. here, surmise can edit file, somewhere dictates startup disk is.

know if there such file, determines startup folder is? appreciated.



edit: ok i'm trying restore older image... we'll see how goes...

, running a-ok, nevermind.
