Interesting question, probably more appropriate for the peripherals forum due to its general nature.
What software did you use format the CF?
Does the drive show up on the SE/30 desktop when booted from the original SE/30 HDD?
I've never used 8.x very much, but at some point the HFS -> HFS+ formatting issue reared its ugly head.
For another OS install conundrum for this topic: My QS'02/9.2.2 flat out refused to run the installer for 7.5.3 on a drive headed into a 2300c.
