Lawrence,
Please give more details on what happens when you try to load Classic.
Also, try booting to the CD using the "c" key rather than the startup manager "option key." Partitioning is not necessary to ensure functionality of Classic and/or booting into OS 9.
Try also booting to single user mode (Command-S on startup). At the prompt type: "fsck -f" to run Disk utility.

I have recently loaded 10.3 on a G4 sawtooth and cannot get classic to load.
I have a B&W G3 that I have problems with classic with. What I've done now, is I've formatted the main drive, then I installed OS-9.1, then upgraded it to 9.2.2. After that, I booted from the OS-9.1 install CD and moved all the contents of my main drive to an auxiliary drive. Then I reformatted the main drive. Then I installed OS-X 10.3.3. Then I moved the OS-9 files from the auxiliary drive back onto my main drive. Now I have classic support. It wasn't easy. and if I try to boot the machine from 9.2.2, it'll work, but when I try to go back everything goes down the toilet! and I have to do they whole process again. really poopy.
