My new setup seems to work. Though it did need a boot floppy as part of
the process. 2 partitions:
A: 9.1 and 10
(must be smaller than the first 8 gig of the drive)
B: 8.6
procedure
1) boot off 8.6 cd, partition the drive install 8.6 on B
2) boot off 9.1 cd, install 9.1 on A
3) use 9.1 Startup Disk set it to boot 9.1 from A
4) use XPF to install 10 on A (repeat until succeed)
5) boot off boot floppy

and set it to boot 8.6 on B
now if you turn on the machine, it boots directly to 10
if you hold on the option key while booting, it boots to 8.6
