es, you'll need to find and buy or burn a Mac OS 8.6 CD that originally came with that computer, boot from it, repartition+reformat the drive, and then you'll be able to restore or reinstall that OS version. Any ideas as to where to look?

eBay might have, it Mac Garden appears to have a copy, although I haven't used this image before: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-85-851-update (Look for PowerMacG4CD_86.ZIP on that page, download number 18.)

@Gorgonops have you tried the tap interface for QEMU? I've got a lovely install I just did with slirp networking in os 9.2.2 but can't access my a2server Appletalk server. Doh! That's kinda how I was hoping to get software onto the fresh install. FTP works still but Appletalk would be easier.
