Does the 8gb hard drive limit for the first partition apply to Mac OS9 as well as Mac OSX?
Yes, I believe this is true. The result is that, if you want to have Classic capability, you have to install both OS X and OS 9 on that first partition, which in turn does not leave a whole lot of space left for the rest of your applications, let alone Home documents. As far as I know, there is no workaround for this problem. You can certainly get more disk space on other internal partitions or external drives, but you lose the User Account security aspect of OS X as everything on those other partitions is accessible by any user.
