The setup itself sounds ok. If you can see any boot messages, then the
tt128 is not the issue at the moment and it's unlikely there is a
problem with the drive formatting (if the drive formatting is messed up
it won't even attempt to boot). Try getting back to OS 9 and assigning
a helper disk in XPostFacto if you haven't tried it already. The
installation process can sometimes overwrite/move files in ways that
would not bother a newer system but confuses or breaks XPF (as I
understand it); a helper drive usually solves this.
Exactly how far into the boot process do you get, and what are the last
couple messages displayed? That'll help narrow things down more.

Dear list,
I own a 9600, before upgrading to G3/300 I succesfully installed 10.1
on original scsi 4G disk, using original CD drive. Now, I upgraded to
Newertech G3/300, Sonnet Tempo ATA, 20G IDE HD + DVD on the same ide
channel. I can't go further than 10.1 (using latest Xpostfacto), most
of time 10.2, 10.3 or even tiger installs then stops at boot time
(waiting for root device). I install either on the 4G scsi (I have
another 4G with OS9) or 8G partition on the IDE HD. I removed and
shuffled around my memory banks. The internal video is tt128, but it
is supposed to work with OSX>10.1, isn't it? I really dunno what to
try next, tha machine has full of potential to be unleashed, if only i
can put 10.3 and safari and the stuff alike.
Thank you all and sorry for the long message,
A.Vozza,
