this just worked for me:
Open up the classic pref pane and it should see the new OS9 folder, click on it and start classic. this should "bless" the folder

If you already have a working OS 9 system folder, you can certainly try to copy it over the new drive. Then, you can check in startup disk to see if you can boot from that drive and even try to boot from the drive.
If one does this (haven't tried) and the OS 9 system folder does NOT appear blessed, is there anyway to make it blessed, i.e. bootable ?
Clarification: I make a backup copy of the OS 9 System folder and then after having done a clean reinstall of OS X.3 I copy the OS 9 system folder onto the disk and then it does not appear in the Startup Disk options. I recall rebuilding the DB did this in OS 7 through 9...
Another way that used to work under 9 was to remove the Finder file from the
system folder, drop it next to the folder then put it back. I don't know if
that would work but it's worth a try...
