Standard Apology: I checked the database and didn't see any articles addressing this, so excuse this repeat if it is one.
Equip: Lombard (G3 333 PB) 384MB/40GB, partitions: OS 10.2.8 (25GB) , OS 9.2.2 (7GB), non-bootable (6GB).
Problem: When I boot in 9.2.2, at startup I get a message suggesting I initialize an "unreadable" volume which turns out to be the OSX volume. I click "no" of course, but that leaves me stranded in OS 9.2.2 without a way to re-boot in OSX because, since it couldn't be mounted, it is not an option in the Startup Disk control panel. I tried a bunch of stuff to find a way to mount the sucker, but failed on everything. Of course, booting from the OSX disk doesn't help, because it doesn't allow you access to the Startup Disk control panel, and doesn't just boot a base system; it boots the install system. I finally have had to choose "netboot" in the Startup Disk control panel from 9.2.2, which doesn't find a server after a few minutes, and then boots the newest system it can find on local volumes.
Anybody know what's going on here? I'm tired of this issue.
Thanks,

Sounds like when you initialized/partitioned the drive the OS9 drivers weren't installed on the OSX volume. It's a check box during the partition process. You may have to wipe/re-initialize that partition in order to get the drivers enabled for OS9.
