Ohhh, that sounds like one of the machines that can't be booted from 
9, only X, or using 'Classic' to access OS 9-only apps.

I wonder now. Maybe you should go ahead and install OSX [since you 
don't appear to have a choice], and pick the partition you want it 
on, as part of the Install process. Then, when you do the OS9 .pkg 
install, just pick another partition as the target of the package 
installer. I don't think you have a 'problem' there. The pkg 
installers are handy, and will still offer you the opportunity to 
point the install at the drive or partition of your choice. As long 
as you set your partitions up, in advance, the way you want them, you 
should have no problem.
