Mac OS X 10.0: Included 9.1 CD Cannot Start Up Latest Computers

The Mac OS 9.1 CD-ROM included with Mac OS X does not start up computers introduced in early 2001.
Symptom

A flashing question mark appears if you try to start up an affected computer from the Mac OS 9.1 CD included with Mac OS X 10.0.


Solution

Use the Mac OS 9.1 CD that came with your computer. Because your computer was produced after the release of Mac OS 9.1, it requires the computer-specific version of Mac OS 9.1 that came with it.
