In system prefs you'll find a tab that says classic..
Click on that and you'll have the option to start
classic at login.
Or to change which one it boots iinto click on
startup disk in system prefs and select either os 9
or os x

There is also a keyboard command set that will prompt for the OS to boot into when starting. I am unable to remember it at this time. I have also searched the KB, but can't remember how I found it.

Also, the Startup Disk control panel will help...

Of course, the option key only works if the
Systems are on separate partitions or drives.
