I may have slightly misspoken. Since sometime in 2003, new Macs can
not boot directly from OS 9. They are only able to run OS 9 in
emulation. My G5 did not even have OS9 installed by default nor did I
even bother to install it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple drop all support for classic on
future versions of OSX. When OSX came out it ran on all sorts of older
hardware (604's, etc). When Jaguar came out it officially supported
only G3 or better based machines. When Panther came out it supports
only new world ROM machines (colored iMacs or better). As they convert
more and more of the OSX code base to 64 bit (for the G5) I'd be
surprised to see them bring the classic emulator along.
