Question IMAC G3 233mhz - New internal HD install problem

I am working on an IMAC G3 233mhz, 4gig HD. I decided to up the HD from a 4 gig to a 40 gig. I removed the orig 4gig drive and connected the new 40gig Seagate drive. Put the IMAC back together, booted to an OS X 10.1 Install CD (also tried this with 8 and 9 system CD's with same problem) and created a new partition and then installed the system software. The system see's the new HD, I can install from the new system CD (8, 9 or X, all 3 will install to drive) But when the system is rebooted after the sucsess full install The ? mark folder blinks untill I put any OS CD in and let it boot from CD. The system boots from CD, the drive is listed on the desktop, I can open the drive, the system I just installed is on the drive, I can even go into startup disk and pick the HD as start up drive but when I reboot it wont or cant boot from the new HD drive.

PLEASE HELP! This is driveing me crazy
