pretty sure os x has to be with in the first 8gig. also, are you planning on keeping os 9 apps with 9 and os x apps with x? if so, your probably ok...
Isn't the 8 gig limit for beige G3's only?? I know that I had this limit on my beige G3's.
My friend is a photographer, not really a computer person. He will tend to keep 9 apps with 9 and x apps with x. He has a lot of photography programs and stuff that is os9. I am trying to get him running in os x with 9 emulation and everything working. I am thinking of setting up a firewire drive to try this out (he has several) and if it works put it internally.
When X emulates 9 does it use the 9 partition? Or does X have it's own code for 9?
however, this is what i'd suggest:
6gig for os x (this should give you around 3gig of space even with all the apple iapps - should be enough for x's vm management etc.)
1gig for os 9 (even fully loaded, my os 9 comes in at 600mb (you can skim this even lower) and it doesn't need to much expansion space).
3gig for applications (should be plenty of room for all osx and 9 apps (except osx iapps) - can make bigger if you need it)
this leaves you with 110gig to play with!
i would suggest carving out 4 scratch disks for photoshop/video and music apps - maybe at around 5/10gig each depending on usage.
use the rest for your working files.
hope this helps (just my 2p's worth!)

I have a friend with fairly new G4 and I know it will boot both MacOS9 and MacOSX. He would like to reformat his drive and install both MacOS9 and MacOSX to boot from either and also run emulation 9 in X.
I do not want a mixed enviroment.
Partition 1 MacOS9.2.2 20 gig (install first) Partition 2 MacOSX (Jag) 20 gig (install second) Partition 3 General storage 80 gig
Any problems here?
