There's a way to use XPostFacto to install Tiger on a partition larger than 8 GB. I installed OS 9.2.2 on a 1 GB partition and used XPostFacto's helper disk function to trick the installer into installing Tiger onto the larger partition. I don't even think the larger partition was even the FIRST partition, but I don't remember exactly. It's been a while since my Wallstreet was taken out of daily use (although I'll never get rid of it; same with my near-mint Pismo).
