You are in luck, this is no problem: at all.
Your iMac will require two partitions- one for OS 9 and OS X. If you
should choose to go back to OS 9, all you have to do is go to the (in
OS X) the apple menu>system preferences> start up disk
One of the choices in there will be a folder labeled Mac OS X and the
other labeled Mac OS 9. Select OS 9, reboot, and voila! You're back
in the real OS 9.
be careful, though, as that 10 gig HD will fill up fast.
I'm fairly certain of this as I have an iMac of similar configuration
(400 mHz).
Is that more along the lines of what you were hoping for?

I'm about to install Panther on my iMac G3/400. I've run the
firmware update, added RAM (total 384) and copied the data from its
10G HD to an external FW HD. What I want to ask is: if I decide to
go back to OS 9, would I run into trouble; or would it be as easy
as starting the computer from a utility CD with OS 9 and erase the
HD, so I copy the data from the external FW HD?
