The macos= option used to work for me on my Titanium Powerbook G4/500.
It no longer works on my Aluminum Powerbook G4/1.25, and even though
Classic works and is installed, I don't see OS9 listed at all if I go
to System Preferences->Startup in OS X.
I'm guessing it's because these newer machines lack the support to
actually boot OS9; I remember a whole huge issue with clients (Graphic
Designers, still predominately use OS9) around 6 months ago ordering
some new G4 desktop machines and they didn't have the BIOS support for
OS9 or something, so we had to order some older machines as
replacements.
You said you installed from a TiBook software restore disk, but you
didn't say what you installed it to. If it's a newer machine, I
suspect this may be your problem.
If it is possible to boot OS9 on these machines, let me know - I
haven't looked into it very far personally.
