In general, that's not the case at all. Many people intentionally place
OS 9 on a different partition both to boot into when needed and to use
for Classic. I have one system that even has the copy of OS 9 it uses
for Classic on a different drive.
Is this a new limitation on the new Macs that don't boot 9? If it is,
I'll have to be sure to file that bit of info somewhere in my brain.
