I don't have a precise solution to Mike's particular problem, however if it were me, I would switch partitions - that is, I'd install OSX on the 3Gig partition and OS9 on the 2G. I originally installed OSX on an approx 2G partition on my Powerbook only to quickly discover that space on this partition was at a premium. Got to the stage where certain updates refused to install due to a lack of free space (some of which I am sure were demanding more free space than they actually needed given the minor changes they performed, nevertheless without adequate room the updates refused to install). Ended up having to reformat my whole drive only a few months after the original install. Pain in the backside you might want to avoid.
