How do I build boost with Visual Studio 2008 when I have multiple Visual Studio versions installed?

I know how to build boost with the latest visual studio on my machine (this question, for example)

However, I need to build the libs for Visual Studio 2008 (vc9)

I tried using toolset=vc9 but I get problems/no success.

How can I build the libs for vc9?

After I run boostrap I try running

b2 toolset=vc9

but the output is:

C:/Development/boost 50/boost_1_50_0/boost_1_50_0/tools/build/v2/build\toolset.jam:39: in toolset.using rule vc9.init unknown in module toolset
