For the records:
A 9.2.2 CD bundled with a later G4 worked quite well. It´s still verry strange to me, but the bought 9.1 refuses to boot, but a 9.2.2 works (even if it was made for another G4), and even if the G4 was originally sold with 9.1, …

I have a "boot any" 9.2.2 that will boot any New World Mac that can boot OS 9. It is the eMac G4 9.2.2 boot disk. If you can find this, and they show up on eBay now and again, you should be able to boot any 9.2 compatible Mac.
