I have the same problem described by others on this list, but can't solve it with what's been offered in the answers I've seen so far.
I have an early G3 Beige desktop upgraded with max RAM and a OWC G4/500. I've replaced the original HD with a 40G IDE partitioned with OS X in the first partition of 7.8 G and OS 9 in a second partition. After installing OS X (same problem in both 10.1.5 and Jaguar), I've run Classic to update the CP startup (it's now 9.2.3 on the OS 9 system disk). However, once I boot into OS 9 (my spouse has floppies she needs to use), I can't get back to OS X except by reinstalling from the OS X CD. No matter how many times I choose the OS X partition from the Startup CP it reboots into OS 9. I've tried installing OS 9 on the same partition as OS X, but the same problem results. If it weren't for floppies and an old Laserwriter I'd stay in OS X. But I'd prefer to be able to go back and forth (as I can seamlessly on my PB G3 Firewire with OS 9 and OS X on separate partitions). I'd appreciate any suggestions.
