OS 10.1, can't get back from 9.2

I have a B&W G3, 350

I have just dipped my toe in the OSX water, buying a copy of 10.1

I can't open 9.2 apps from within OSX because every time 9.2 starts to
boot up, it hangs on the CD-rom icon and starts beeping, as if it can't
find the thing, which is right where Apple installed it, in the blue and
white tower....

If I set the start up disk to re boot and start up in 9.2, it works OK,
but then when I go to the start up file/folder/application on the
control panel menu, or from the help menu, the window opens, the black
and white ball spins, then it crashes.... I've tried throwing away the
[preference file, which is my only idea...no help

I can't seem to find any other way to get it to boot back up in Sys
X...is there one...

I bought the 10.1 cause it was cheap, and I am out of work, and there
are some apps I need to buy and run on 10, like Office.....

anyone have any idea?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Try holding down the "X" key at boot.
