When you formatted the drive originally and installed OSX, you
installed the OS9 drivers on the hard drive right? If you didn't, you
can't get OS9 to run, except under Classic.

I've tried both things you mention. Selecting the startup drive as the
one containing OS9 brings up the Happy Mac for a moment, then the
computer resets itself, then starts up into OS X. Holding down the
Option key seems to do absolutely nothing with this machine.
Have you tried inserting the OS 9 CD, starting up from *that* (by
holding down the C key, or selecting the CD as startup disk), then
using the control panel on that system to select the OS9 drive you
actually want?This was the one and only way I could get my WallStreet
(running Panther, which was unsupported though it installed fine with
XPostFacto) to reboot into OS9.
Best,

By the way, the only way the option key thing works is if you have
different
OS's on separate drives. For instance, OS X on drive one, and OS 9 on
drive
two.
