Have you tried doing a "Clean Install"?

It seems strange that you cannot select the option for a "Clean  
Install" of OS-9.2.1 during the first phase of the installation  
procedure. You should boot to the install CD and select the option  
for that. I have used this technique many times to install OS-9.x as  
the Classic environment on everything from a Bondi iMac to G4 eMacs  
and towers.
