I don't think that the FW800 had specific OS9 (I am not sure if it was
supplied with OS9 at all), as it is only required on the FW400 MDD so
you can boot OS9, on the FW800 you can only use OS9 as Classic, so the
machine specific ROM file and drivers would not be needed.
Also there is no point in installing OS9 drivers on the HDD as they
are only used to -BOOT- OS9, and serve no purpose for Classic.
The NetBoot image another poster suggested is probably the best route
to go down as it can install from OSX and has all you need for running
Classic.
