If you format a drive using OS X disk utility without loading the OS 9 drivers you will be able to use Classic mode. But if you boot your Mac to an OS 9 CD you would not see your drive.
I recommend that you install the OS 9 drivers. You may think now you never need to boot to 9, but then there will be that one time and... Make sure your Disk Utility looks like this if you want it to install the OS 9 drivers:

Refer to the picture of the "Erase" tab, 5th image from the top.

Well, after a few installs and a couple of hardware failures I finally got
10.1.5 (I know, I know--ditch and get 10.2, but this is what I have for now

Sonnet G4/500 zif all installed and working on my G3MT (was 266). A faulty
firewire case has been replaced and I am about to take my old quantum 40GB
HD out of the MT and put it in the firewire case. I want to repartition this
drive before I move it to the FW. My question: should I do this with the OS
X disk utility or the classic drive set up? If I do it with the OS X disk
utility, will I be able to "see" the FW drive if I am booted in straight
9.2.2 (not classic)?
