Also, my wife has a MDD and it is set up to load OS 9 *after* OS X is loaded. It only works with the "Restore" disk that ships with it. The Restore disk has a "Classic Support" option (i.e., OS 9). It is a strange setup and is more evidence of the move away from OS 9. Classic and dual booting are still supported. When I booted to an OS 9 CD I could not see the drive even though the OS 9 drivers had been loaded.
This is indeed a strange setup, a veritable never-never-land.

Here's what I did with my 2003 MDD.
I installed OS X and the OS 9 from the OS X install CD just as you did on the same partition. Then boot classic in OS X.
You now should be able put in your retail OS 9 and double click on the installer and choose a separate partition.
I did this and I was able to install OS 9 on the second partition. That System Folder did appear in the Startup Disk System Preference in OS X and it also appeared in the Startup Manager. However, when I tried to boot to it the machine did not recognize it and I got the famous blinking question mark.
I will try what Glenn suggested (use the OEM Restore Disk).
Thank you both for the explanation and suggestions.
