If you notice, I just echoed the Installer's instructions. You do the 
install of OSX, first, then launch the OS 9 .pkg [which is a package 
installer] from OSX, once you're rebooted into the newly-installed 
OSX.

All I was suggesting was that, as with every pkg installer I've seen, 
you will be given a choice, by the pkg installer, itself, to pick the 
target [meaning drive/volume, etc] where the pkg will install to. So, 
pick the partition you created with OS 9 in mind. It should go very 
smoothly.
