@alexshendi@rollenspiel.social IIRC, Drive Genius will allow you to non-destructively resize partitions, including the boot partition (if you boot from a CD first).

EDIT: Apparently you need version 2 for 10.5 compatibility, which you can get from here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/drive-genius-2

Thank you!
Currently downloading.

I'll finish my backups and try it out.

Apparently it worked!
But I can't boot 9.2.2 from CD anymore.

Will try to reset the NVRAM!

Resetting the NVRAM didn't work, but holding down the option key for the boot manager works.

But the MacOS 9.2.2 Disk Setup doesn't recognise the free space. I tried to make a new partition with Mac OS X disktool, but it only displays the dreaded "rotating balloon".

Any suggestions?
