I have an old Classic application that I depend on heavily (MYM). I've
been keeping my old iBook running just for this, but I'd like to switch
to Sheepshaver emulation.

I don't have any OS 9 install CD's, so I downloaded a torrent of install
CD's, and extracted Mac OS 9.img. I can open this disk image and mount
it on my iMac. What I can't figure out how to do is get SS to boot from
it and install the OS onto the virtual disk. Do I have to burn it to a
CD?

I've used Sheepshaver in the past. I used an actual CD of Mac OS 9, but
I think you should be able to go into Sheepshaver GUI, create a virtual
hard drive, then add the DMG of the installer CD as another volume, and
then boot from it.
