Put OS9 on a partition separate of the Leopard. Format the drive with the 9 drivers. My machines run 9.2.2, 10.4.11 and 10.5.8. Each system is on a separate partition on the same drive. You need a PB that will boot OS9 or you will need Tiger to run it in Classic mode in which case you will install it on the Tiger partition. The last PB to natively boot OS 9 is the TiBook 1 GHz.
