Looks like you partition your drive into two volumes.  You can put your 
OS 9 in either place.  Some folks don't like it in the OS X boot 
volume, but it will work fine either way.  One advantage of putting it 
on a separate volume or even on a second hard drive is that you can 
then wipe out the OS X volume, trash it, whatever, and that will not 
affect your OS 9.  Whereever you put the OS 9, your OS X preferences 
and your Startup Disk will find it.
