eMac not booting in Target Disk Mode

I picked up a used eMac a couple weeks ago, but as it used to belong to a school, it has a lot of junk on the HD. To clear it out, I thought I would use FireWire TDM. It runs Panther 10.3.9, but for some reason, WILL NOT boot into FireWire Target Disk Mode. It has a wired keyboard, and I can boot into Single User Mode, Verbose, Safe boot etc, but not TDM.

eMac-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.3.x)

So can mine, just doesn't recognise the T key until the OS is loaded, it seems.
