so is there a utility i can get that will bring up a boot menu like bootmagic does on pc

i want a menu when i turn the mac on asking me if id like to boot os9 or osX
If the Mac was last booted in OS9, when you next start it, hold down the 'x' key and it'll start up in OSX instead. I've no idea whether it works in reverse, I suppose you could try pressing '9' during boot.
