I had a hard drive in my Quicksilver that had 9.2.2 on it, which was
useful for booting back into OS-9 when I needed to. I decided to
replace that drive with a bigger one, so I cloned all the contents
of the original hard drive onto a new, larger one, using Disk
Utility's Restore function. (I did this by putting the new, larger
drive into the Mac and setting the jumpers as a slave to the
original drive, then cloning from the master to the slave).
So, the larger drive is now a clone of the smaller one and has
replaced the smaller one inside the Mac, with its jumpers reset to
master. However, it won't boot back into 9 like the original one
will.
Did you make sure to put the OS 9 driver on it during initialization?
Without that driver it ain't bootin in 9.
Don't I remember something about an OS-9 System folder needing to be
"blessed" or something before it will work?
All bootable systems have to be blessed, regardless of the OS.
blessing == the action that tells the bootstrap what system to boot from.
Just double-click on the System Folder while holding down the option
key to re-bless it.
When things are really broken - you're getting that "?" icon during
boot - you can manually bless a system from within OpenFirmware. See
the bottom section of this page for directions:

More likely you forgot to put the OS 9 driver on the drive tho...
