Once you have that all sorted out, boot the computer using the Install CD and go directly to the drive utilities and repartition the drive. Be sure to choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the partition where you plan to install OSX. If you plan to run OS9 on this drive, then you need to be sure the drivers for OS9 box is checked.

Sorry my kitty pressed enter before I was done typing :)
I dont exactly remember but I do think that when I first wanted to install
OSX in my Beige 333, I actually did installed it in the same partition of OS 9,
but my drive was formatted in extended format. This drive is too small (only
9gig) so I just want one partition... well I want to get a bigger drive. Oh,
I am just undecided about what to do. I'll need an IDE 1" drive which I
should be getting soon but honestly I can't wait to see OSX running in this machine
I am too impatient :-\ OS 9 shouldn't take any more than 1GB though, should
I make a 1GB partition for OS 9 temporarily? sorry I am just so impatient!

You don't have to make separate partitions, you could just reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then install X there. Once done you can also install OS9 on the same drive without a separate partition. I've done it that was also, but I like having separate partitions better. Of course if this is just temporary, you could just install OSX on the drive and forget about OS9 until you get a bigger drive like you want. BTW, my cat would take over the entire computer desk if he had his way!
