You can install MacOS 9 from cd using 'startmol --cdboot'.
It ought to be possible to start MOL from the Classic installation.
However, if Classic and OSX is installed on the same volume,
then Classic won't be blessed properly. I recommend you
install MacOS 9 on a separate partition. If you don't have
a partition to spare, then you can always use a linux side
file image...
