Boot from your OSX disc (not the combined OSX/OS9 sofware restore discs!) :
Insert the first CD and start the Mac while pressing "C" on the keyboard.
Before installing OSX, go to "Disc Utilities", there you can choose the format, how many partitions you wanna have and how big they are.
Than follow the installer, install OSX on one partition.
Restart with the OS9 disc and install OS9 on the other partition.
Do all of your disc formating, utilities etc with OSX (especially on Firewire HDs) and always enable "OS9 compatible", so you have good drivers for both systems.

cheers,
ralf
