I had the same problem.

There is a simpler solution. If you use "System Disk" a utility that came with the public beta it will allow you to select your OSX partition and reboot into X without destroying the OS9 system file from which you were just in. This technique can be applied to corrupted system disks. This phenomenon is only apparent when switching file systems on the same volume. I do not know were to find this utility other than the PB CD but I am sure with some hunting around it can be found.

the problem isn't the MacOS 9 system getting hosed (although after several times this can happen). It is a corruption of Both X and 9. This originally happened to me because I had installed X over the PB (which was also installed over DP4 and 3). The System Disk utility is no longer needed. PLEASE DO NOT USE IT! It can cause conflicts with the system. The MacOS 9 Startup Disk control panel now supports switching to the MacOS X system folder on the same partition, as the original thread implies this user did.
