I just went through this recently and it went pretty smoothly, though
there were a few bumps in the road.
Years ago I made a folder at root level of my OS 7.6 (!) machine
called simply "Frontier" so the path was easy to recreate on any new
machine: hardDriveName/Frontier/frontier.root. It's made my life much
simpler when migrating to new machines.
The bumps that I experienced were all solved by updating my roots, all
of the "aps" roots, with the
user.rootUpdates.servers.[rootName].lastUpdate set to Jan 1 of 2001. I
don't know exactly how it all worked, but the aps roots from the OS 9
installation, which had been enjoying nightly updates all along, seem
to have been missing things that the OS X installation needed. All the
annoyances (ie. none of the methods for creating new manila sites
worked) went away after the root update process ran with the two years
worth of material.
Hope this helps
