Can't boot 9.2.2 after installing Tiger
Recently installed Tiger; now running 10.4.4 up to date on an iBook G4, 933 MHz, bought new in March 2004. Rather than running Classic, which has become a problem in Tiger (e.g. the process TruBlueEnvironment regularly runs away with the CPU) and will be gone entirely from the Intel Macs, I want to install 9.2.2 on a partition of my backup FireWire drive.
I cannot get the machine to boot from that partition or to recognize it as bootable.
Nor will it boot from the CD that came with the iBook, called "iBook Mac OS 9 Install." Booting with the C key held down doesn't do it -- was this an OS 9-ism? The CD doesn't show up when I restart with Option held down, and it doesn't show up in OS X's list in System Preferences > Startup Disk either. BTW the installation instructions on the CD say to start by booting from the "Mac OS CD." I presume that means this CD.
I have made sure that the OS 9 disk driver (Apple DriverATA) is present on the FireWire drive -- formatted using Disk Utility with that option checked and then confirmed in Terminal with diskutil and pdisk. I have blessed the new wannabe-OS 9 folder via
sudo bless -folder9 "/Volumes/FWdrive/System Folder"
Questions: did the Tiger install do something to Open Firmware in NVRAM that makes booting into 9.2.2 impossible?
How do I get a 9.2.2 partition that I can boot from?

iBook G4, 933 MHz, Mac OS X (10.3.9), Original install CDs were for 10.3.5.
