I formatted the OS9-partition as HFS+ when I installed
Panther and it is seen as a possible startup disk when I
start from the original OS9 installer-CD.

Jörg, I take this to mean that you booted from a Panther CD, and ran Disk Utility from that and formatted the OS9 partition. If you did not specifically tick on the check box saying "Install OS9 drivers" (or similar; I run a Norwegian system) the partition will not be visible from OS9. CHOOSING HFS+ IS NOT ENOUGH!

The partition would still be visible when you boot from OSX, which doesn't need these OS9 drivers. So then you could install an OS9 System Folder from the Restore Software CDs - is that how you did it? Then Classic would work, since the disk access is then handled by OSX - but booting into "pure" OS9 would NOT.

As far as I know the only way to fix this is to reformat the OS9 partition, with the appropriate check box ticked on. Sorry
