The version of Drive Setup included with 9.1 should work with non-Apple ROM drives without a problem. That is how I formatted the 9.1GB SCSI drive that is in the 8600 I have now. Silverlining and FWB were out of the question since their driver causes problems with XPostFacto and MacOS X on these machines. Does the machine have enough RAM in it? Have you tried moving the RAM around? Also sometimes zapping the PRAM can help with booting troubles. Also is your CD a legit retail copy of 9.1 (orange aqua "9" on the disk)? 9.1 Restore CDs (usually gray in color) that came with new Macs aren't always bootable.
