Does OS 9 have HD size limitation?

Recently upgraded to a PowerMac G4 1.25G with 80G HD. Partitioned the drive into 3 and included "Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed" in the setup. However, the machine simply will not allow OS 9 on this HD. I thought it would be quite easy to find this info out, but searching has not produced anything as yet. :confused:

It would appear that the 2003 version of the MDD does not support OS9 directly (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25114). A little surprised nobody reading this forum knew this already. :( . The table sems to imply that if the machine is configured with the correct system software, then retail copies of OS9 could be installed. A little assistance would be much appreciated.
