The last PowerMacs to boot with OS9 were the firewire400 
mirror-driver-doors. I know because I mistakenly listed my FW800 on 
eBay as being OS9-bootable & was proved wrong by the winning bidder, 
necessitating a relisting.

I would doubt that an eMac would boot to OS 9, and very very much doubt 
a Mac Mini would.
