reinstalling MacOS without wiping a Debian setup (partition, boot)



Is there any means of reinstalling MacOS without removing Debian?  (or
reformating the whole disk?)   More importantly, is there any means of
installing OS 9 without nuking my Debian setup?  I've currently got a
dual-boot setup, OS X and Debian, on an iBook2.  

Attempting to reinstall either MacOS 9 or MacOS X seem to fail, the
error given is that no disk/volume exists to do the install on.  Which
makes no sense to me since I've got an HFS+ partition with OS X on
it.  (well, I'm sure it does to the OS installer, sigh...).

Suggestions?  (other than to reinstall the whole computer, but I guess
that may be the only solution)?

best,
-tony
