not an answer just a story.
I ve done the same thing than you on my dual boot machine, wipped
MacOS9, to put Jaguar.
Jaguar Instalation was smoth an easy. but after reboting I was
surprised by the fact that MacOS X boot directly, I have losed the OF
chooser.
I was thinking about a pram modification done by MacOS X.
And yes MacOSX wipped the OF boot-device and so on (as printenv shows me
under OF)
Reseted the pram with the magic key combo (option-command-p-r at boot
chime) but the problem remains. I finaly found by booting on a debian
install disk and switching to the shell, that my partition scheme was
"altered".
When I installed linux, I've reordered my parition in order to have the
Apple_Bootstrap in position 2 (it was physicaly the 9th).
MacOS X instalation put it back on position 9.
just using the mac-fdisk r, to restore the partition order, and
running ybin command restored the things

Ça ne doit pas être très pratique.
