Don't know where you digged up this wisdom but, IMHO, it's complete nonsense! There are 2 possibilities: 1) If you have a Mac G4, bootable under OS 9, and a "clean" HD with OS 9 drivers included you can install a current OS X first and then OS 9.2.2. OR you can install 9.2.2 first and then a current OS X! Now you can start-up under OS X or OS 9. 2) If you have a Mac, bootable under OS 9 but not with the OS 9 drivers formatted, you only can use Classic but not boot under OS 9. On Macs not bootable under OS 9, you can install OS 9 afterwards and only use it under Classic, oc.
