I don't think the B/W supports Startup Manager (the option key boot disk
choice).
So after installing 9.2 (or 9.1) go to control panels and select Startup Disk
and select OS X. Then go into preferences, Classic and select the OS 9 System
folder as the "Classic" system folder. As Bruce posted above.
Bruce, correct me if I'm wrong. --glen
