You need to use the OS 10.3 CD that came with your system to delete the existing system first.  You'd start your MAc off the 10.3 CD/DVD, then go to the top menu, launch the disk utility, delete and recreate the partition, adding the "write zeros to the drive" option when creating the partition to cleanly wipe the disk.  You'll then stop the reinstall of OS X before it starts, eject that CD, boot from he OS 9 CD and install OS 9.
