Hello Till:

I am not a UNIX geek.  I know of only two ways to have OS 9 disk 
drivers on a hard drive that starts up in OS X.

The preferable way is to check the option to install the OS 9 drivers 
when formatting the hard drive prior to installing OS X.  If you use a 
restore CD set for the specific machine, your OS 9 System Folder will 
go on at the same time.  A second way is to reformat the hard drive 
using an OS 9 install CD.  Follow that with installing OS X.  You might 
have to use Apple's software downloads to get back up to your 9.2.2 and 
10.3.9.

In either case, you would have to back up your data.   You should 
safely back up your OS 9 applications and copy them back.  It is 
usually best to reinstall your third party OS X applications from their 
original media or image files.

Good Luck,
