The drive's been formatted in HFS+, which a 68K (pre-PPC) Mac can't boot from. They need to boot from a regular HFS volume. Even then, old Macs need Mac OS 8.1 to *see* HFS+ volumes once they've booted, which won't officially run on anything older than a 68040 (like a Quadra). Any Mac with a 4-digit model number, or G3 or G4, is a PPC.
