dual boot Windows NT and Mac OS
I installed Windows NT on my iBook G4 (PowerBook 6,7), but when I try to install macos on a partition created via ARC and formatted via the disk utility, macos says that it is impossible to install macos on this disk, but it is very problematic to run macos 9 on this laptop because the mouse does not work in it
Are you using OSX 10.4.6 or higher? If so, probably fixed by 9d636355b244e23ca907ac24a90ba6e097971e9a (next mac99 release is planned for when I finish the NT USB driver...)

Yes, I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.6, but I install it via a usb flash drive.
That'd be the cause of the issue. Without 9d636355b244e23ca907ac24a90ba6e097971e9a - OSX 10.4.6+ will not install.
You can sector edit the disk to remove the ISO "header" at 0x8000 if you're willing, otherwise, use an earlier version of OSX .
well... then I'll try to delete the header at 0x8000. I'm waiting for the new mac99 release with new fixes and additions.

By the way, I have an idea. At one point, I burned a dmg image with the mac os 10.5.8 installer onto a broken disk, and it was able to boot. So, what if the installed system is compressed into a dmg image and after installing windows, it is already deployed to the created partition?.. I think something should work out.
Writing a dmg image should work. It's just the 10.4.6+ installer that doesn't work.
Yes, it worked. Windows NT 4.0 and Mac OS X 10.4.6 were installed.... However, unpacking the disk image took a very long time... I'll probably have to try playing with compression later.
