Make sure the first partition on the beige is less than 8 gigs.  Set it
for 7.95 or similar size.  8 gigs or more is a no-go.  I know this from
sad experience.

I have a Wallstreet PowerBook, which comes from approximately the same=20
era as your Beige G3. I have my OS 9/X partition (HFS+) as the first=20
partition (8 GB), and it works just fine. I have a small HFS (no plus)=20
"interchange" partition next, to serve to transfer files between the=20
Linux and Macintosh environments, and Linux as the last partition. It=20
works great.

Here's what I did on a 25-GB hard drive that I wanted to have three=20
partitions (HFS+ for Mac OS 9/X, HFS for interchange, and ext3 for=20
Yellow Dog Linux):

[1] Boot with the Macintosh OS 9.x installation disk. Use the Disk Tool=20
to initialize the hard drive, and set partitions.
[2] Choose to set up two partitions.
[3] Using the drag interface or by typing values in the window, set up=20
partition one ("Untitled") as 8 GB (or less) of the type Mac OS=20
Extended.
[4] Set up the partition two ("Untitled 2") to a reasonable size (I=20
chose 1 GB, but more might be better for you) and Mac OS (not=20
Extended). This will be your "interchange" partition, because Linux can=20
mount Mac HFS but not Mac HFS+ partitions.
[5] The remainder of the drive (more than 15 GB for a 25-GB drive) will=20
remain unallocated -- do nothing to this portion of the drive.
[6] Quit the Disk Tools utility, and install Macintosh OS 9.x on the=20
first (HFS+) partition. Reboot, and set up OS 9 to your liking.
[7] Install Mac OS X on the same partition, if you so desire (I haven't=20
done this, yet). Set up Mac OS X to your liking.
[8] Boot into Mac OS 9. Insert the first Yellow Dog Linux installation=20
CD. Follow the instructions to set up BootX, and so on (consult the YDL=20
literature for these steps -- and read the instructions carefully, it's=20
not always completely obvious).
[9] Install Yellow Dog Linux from the CD.

The YDL installer is smart enough to ignore your two Macintosh=20
partitions and go right for the unallocated portion of your drive. If=20
you have followed the instructions for the YDL installation, everything=20
should go quite smoothly. Pay attention during the install: it is very=20
important to remember during the installation to write down the=20
partition number (hda11 in my case -- it will be different if you chose=20
not to include an interchange partition, for instance) to which you=20
have installed your "/" root partition! You will be unable to tell=20
BootX where to look for your installation otherwise.

[10] Reboot into Mac OS 9 and setup your BootX parameters as instructed.
[11] Start up Yellow Dog Linux.
[12] Have fun!

Yes (see above).

Good luck!

Best wishes,
