I'm trying to get a dual-boot going between OS 9.2.2 and Tiger on my Pismo.

I have a 30GB hard drive in it, which is partitioned with 18GB for OS9 and 12GB for Tiger. OS 9 is installed fine. I put in the Tiger disc and installed it to the second partition, but when I reboot into it, I get the circle with a line through it when it tries to start. Verbose mode says it's still waiting for the root device. I tried resetting the NVRAM from Open Firmware, because Apple's site recommended it-- no dice. If I hold down option and use the selector I can still boot into OS 9 fine. Why can't it see the partition?
