Bought Norton Utilities. Could boot in OS X and OS 9 on the Norton CD.
Ran some diagnostics, it found some problems. Still wouldn't boot from
HD. Booted in OS X on Norton, switched startup disk to OS X on HD. It
booted!
The OS 9 restore discs are not made to boot. You boot in OS X, then run
the OS 9 restore from OS X. Which is fine if you can boot into OS X in
the first place.
Did a restore of OS 9 and it works again. I'm not sure what the problem
was, but I'll be keeping an eye out for signs that the HD is
deteriorating.
