Try starting up while holding down the Option key. This will bring up +Startup Manager+ where you can select from all available bootable volumes. Hopefully, you can select the new hard drive.
Also, the +startup volume+ parameter is stored in PRAM. You should try resetting PRAM.

If those steps do not work, check the +Partition Map Scheme+ of the new hard drive. If it was previously formatted, it may be something other than +Apple Partition Map+, such as +Master Boot Record+ or +GUID Partition Table+.
You can check by running Disk Utility; if you select the hard drive (not the volume under the drive) in the sidebar, the +Partition Map Scheme+ will be shown at the bottom of the window. For a PowerPC Mac, the +Partition Map Scheme+ must be +Apple Partition Map+ for the drive to be bootable.
If it is not +Apple Partition Map+, you can change it by re-partitioning the hard drive on the Disk Utility Partition tab. Reset the +Volume Scheme+ and click on the Options button. This will obviously erase the hard drive.
