Did you use gparted to do this?
My original recommendation was to boot an OS 9 install CD and use that to repartition. I stand by that as the best way to do this, even if it seems inconvenient.
The reason for that is that doing so adds the necessary drivers for OS 8/9 to be able to read the disk. It's possible Gparted doesn't realize this is a need or doesn't have this feature, especially if, as they say on the forum, they don't see much use on MacPPC any more.
