First of all, I want to thank you all for the help I've been
getting. I am happy to have joined a list of such helpful and
friendly people. However, I've read so many posts that I am a
little confused. Regarding installing X, I got conflicting
information, or it appears so (see below). Please someone explain
to me what should I do:

Your iMac will require two partitions- one for OS 9 and OS X.
I don't know who wrote this:
Both 9 and X must remain within that first 8 gig partition.
The ROM won't recognize that an OS is installed if it (or any
parts of it)

The computer is an iMac G3/400;
10GB HD;
384RAM;
OS 9.2.1.

Haroldo,
You do not need to create a separate portion for each system. If can
just upgrade. But I would suggestion backing up any data you want to
keep. Then installing Mac OS X then OS 9. And reload the backed up
data!
