It's doable, OS X and Classic 9.2 on one partition, but why would you also need OS 9.1 on another partition, since you can use OS 9.2 in the 'normal' mode too (read: not Classic)? Or do you mean you want to have a 'clean' OS 9.2 which you can use as Classic and another fullfeatured OS 9.1 for regular use? I have done an almost similar thing on my B&W, one partition with a full OS 9.2.2 and one partition with OS X 10.1.5 and a cleaned out OS 9.2.2 for Classic use (and some partitions w/o OSes installed). And I believe I've read that if you want to install Linux or such that it has to be on a separate partition w/o any other OS installed. Check allmacs.com for more info and subscribe to that mail list aswell, b/c IIRC I saw some similar Linux answers/questions over there a while ago.
