For Krow:
Should Blake install first OS 9.2.2 before installing OS X so that the latter install classic modes?
Blake: I would suggest you first partition your HD, do a clean install from the OS9 install disk on one of two partitions, then install from the OSX install disk OSX on the other partition. This worked for me on an old imac with a 10 gig hard drive

You don't need to erase the drive unless you want to boot into OS 9 and the OS 9 boot option was not checked during OS X's installation.

OS 9 can still be installed when booted from the OS 9 CD and doing a clean install which will leave the OS X System alone. This is the same thing you would do with OS 9 and you get a "previous system folder" It should work in OS X without doing that.

It's probably best to install OS X first with a fresh install and check the OS 9 Bootable option. Then install OS 9 afterwards. That way your drive is formatted for OS X.

It will work either way though.
