I think you meant to hold the Option key on boot, not the T key. T-for-Target disk mode turns your Powerbook into a Firewire drive (so you could connect it to another Mac) and does not allow you to choose a startup disk. Option-for-boot-options gives you a menu of your connected bootable volumes and would let you select the duped drive. Or, you could use the Startup Disk preference pane to select the other drive instead -- this gives you a quick preview of what Mac OS X thinks your bootable volumes are.
