Did you check the box that said something along the lines of "Load OS 
9 drivers" before the reformatting?  I've had the same problem - I 
wiped a Ti/500's HD and installed Panther - didn't check the OS 9 
drivers box.  Couldn't boot from the OS 9 CD.  The CD shows up in the 
startup disk pref pane but not after holding down option at startup. 
Had to copy over an OS 9 system folder from another computer.  The 
computer will still not boot into OS 9.

There is info about this in many OS X partitioning tutorials.  One is 
here: http://www.lafcpug.org/partitioning_osx.html

Hope this helps,

Peter
