I think the original OS X installation had to have OS 9 drivers
installed. Without the drivers, OS 9 can't be installed.

Well, if, like you said, you did erase everything on the drive, then
OS X is
gone. Like Tim said, insert the disk and install. That's your only
option.
Then, if you want OS X, you can install it on the same disk after
OS 9
is
installed. If you want to install each OS independently and would
like
to be
able to wipe one while keeping the other, you would need to
partition
your
drive in 2 partitions, before installing anything...

Yes, install 9 first, then, after you verified it can boot your Mac,
then
install X after removing that 256MB DIMM.
Remember that everytime you want to install the system, you're better
off
booting from the installation CD. This is required from OS X. If you
can't
boot off the install CD, then something is wrong, whether you have a
version
of the install CD that is incompatible with your Mac or the install
CD has
been damaged.
