Any chance you OS 9.x partition is the first partition set?
You might be up against the OSX 8 Gig startup volume limitation...
Try repartitioning, and installing OS 9 on to a partition >8 gig out in the disk land.
Or just copy over the contents of the partition from the first to the second, then install OSX onto the FIRST defined partition. I think it has to exist entirely in the first 8 gig of the drive to work.
Someone please correct me on this if I'm whacked.. What do the new macs do? Giant drives and 8 gig nowadays sounds limiting. Or was this only for early osx versions?
