Yeah, you can start up in either OS X or 9. When you install OS X (and 9.2) you will have two separate system folders. If the computer is booted in OS X, simply go into the startup disk System Preference panel and select OS 9 and then restart. If you are started up in OS 9.2, just restart and hold down the <X> key and it will start up in OS X. You can also hold down a key at startup (it is either the <COMMAND> key or the <OPTION> key (maybe someone can back me up on this)) and the computer will show you all of the possible systems that it detects that are bootable. You then select the one you want and go.
