I haven't tried but a web search suggests either Command-Eject could work 
or Ctrl at happy mac display. See:

Or if these don't work but you can compile programs for MacOS 9 you could 
make an executable that tries to execute an illegal instruction so 
starting this executable would bring up the debugger.
