I don't know if this will work on your computer, but I just hold down the option key on boot. I get a screen that has a curved arrow icon, icons for the Mac System partitions, and a straight arrow. Click on the partition you want to boot into, and then click on the straight arrow. The 'puter will continue booting into that system. (The curved arrow starts a new search for systems on the computer drives.) For background info, I have a sawtooth G4 with three Mac system partitions - 9.04 and 9.1, as well as OS X PB.
