Boot up partition selection
The thing is, the Option, or Alt, key doesn't work on all models on Mac (like Power Macs G3, some iMacs and PowerBooks) so with the D key you can still boot in OS9 without having to go to the Startup Disk Control Panel if you have one of these models.
Also, it takes less time doing this than Option since it goes directly to the first partition while with Option, the Startup manager search every drive available and even if they are all listed, you have to wait until it has finished completely. And yes, OS9 must be on the first partition, otherwise, you'll boot in the OS installed in that partition.

I believe Option wont work if OS 9 and OS X are on the same partition.

Even if they are on separate partitions, Option won't work on those models. |
