James -
yes, a 9.34 CMI can boot from an 11.39 /K0 boot floppy, you get
an 11.39 OS9 shell prompt.  Keep in mind you are not going to be 
running the entire 11.39 CMI software (e.g. the typcial CMI screens)
just a limited 11.39 OS9 shell.  It is the 11.39 shell that you can 
type in the typical disk setup commands to partition your SCSI drives.
I have the commands that I use written down at home (at work now).

Also,  11.39 was designed for colour graphics card usage, so
when you boot a 9.34 CMI with original monochrome graphics VDU
like mine) with 11.39 floppy, the screen resolution is a little funny 
looking.  But it's fine enough to use the shell and type commands
for formatting/partitioning. Once done with formatting, etc.  Reboot 
the CMI into 9.34 as usual.

Peter Wielk told me about the ability to do this and I got my 11.39
/K0 floppy from him.

cheers,
David
