Tri-boot

I'm about to set up a triple boot system between Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and Ubuntu Linux.

Any advice and/or suggestions before I quite possibly fry my iMac G3?

No thanks to any of you I got it done. I got the boot working perfectly. It can go into OS X, OS 9, or Ubuntu Linux, depending on my choice flawlessly. All I need to do is hold down the option key upon boot, and it will work perfectly. I had to load OS X onto a partition because I don't have an internal DVD-ROM. Well, supposedly I do, but it keeps ejecting the disc. So I had to boot from the OS 9 disk, copy all of the files from the external DVD-ROM, and make that partition the boot disk. Then I installed OS 9, Rebooted, booted onto the install partition, installed it, rebooted, installed Linux, rebooted, and now it works perfectly.

I'll have to keep these discs handy in case it crashes or something.
