no point in the install process will you be asked if you want to
partition the drive, or offered the chance to do so. You must instead
start from the install CD, and IGNORE the opening dialog box and head
to the menubar to activate "Disk Utility." Open that program and
partition the drive to your heart's content, then return to the
install process and proceed as you desire. Again, this is just extra,
unnecessary work, but it's your machine -- do what you want.
Are there partitioning issues like OS X partition has to be necessarily
before OS 9 partition with iMacs G3? If yes, up to which model?
Yes. All models. OS 9 can be on any partition. But if you don't
put OS X on the first partition, then you may have boot,
installation, and file system repair problems down the road,
especially with Tiger. Some people have had no problems with putting
X on later partitions. But IMO it's just not worth the hassle
potential.
And FWIW... I've had OS 9 boot problems on my B&W after letting OS 9
live on the same partition with Tiger. Separation of OS seems to be
a more reliable soln.
