This really doesn't have anything to do with Mac-on-Linux. Please keep 
your posts _on topic_ in the future (or at least reasonably close to it).

However, I will tell you that an eMac (and many newer Macs) won't boot 
OS 9.x at all. They have newer hardware that OS 9 doesn't know how to 
deal with, so you can only run it via Classic on OS X.
