There's no such thing as a retail 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 disc. The final

We had something like this recently:
Some PowerMac models boot from partitions larger than 120GB, but only
in OS X, not in OS 9.

On the contrary, it's more common to find Macs now that won't boot a retail

Heather, great suggestion. That's what I have in my Beige G3. Also,
an inexpensive Firewire/USB 2.0 PCI card would make that Beige G3
quite workable. I used a fully-fledged Beige G3 (max RAM, newer ROM,
ATA PCI card, etc.) for quite a bit until recently, including OS X.
