I would use one drive for your current OS9 needs, then build X on the other drive to give yourself some testing time and a fall back plan. Once switched to X (and W5) use the old OS9 drive either for backup or a mirror (RAID 1).
In my server setup all of my machines have 2 drive RAID 1 configurations to virtually remove the possibility of a drive failure.

We are about to replace our aging Mac G3 server with a new Dual G4 1.25G. It has 768mb Ram and 2 80Gb HD's. We are still running Web* v4.5 and witango 4 to FMP and are not ready to upgrade until after Xmas. (Can't risk the down time). So, we need to run the server on OS-9. Should we split main HD into 2 partitions and install a OS-9 on the second? Or Should we set up the second HD as the OS-9 drive, then later when we switch to OS-X use it for backup? DB runs on another machine and that too will be upgraded shortly. Any advice would be appreciated.
