It's a pain.. but you should also try what Reboot said. Pull all ram except 1 module and see if OSX will install. If not try another.
I have the 9.1 and 9.2 update discs.. I could make copies and send them to you. BUT, I would much rather see you get a kb and set up the newer machine. OS 9 is so.....quaint.
Well, this old fat cripple is exhausted, and must go to bed. I'm gonna check my YIM for a couple of minutes to see if anyone wants to chat, then I'm going to bed. Got a meeting at church tomorrow, but I'll be back around noon (EST).
If I don't see ya in YIM (cw_gordon@yahoo.com), I'll see ya tomorrow.
Night...

Trying again for a minute or two. Reloaded the OS 10.2, got to it's 'crash point' and crashed.
Reloaded 8.6 on it, but still gives me a 'can't load' error for about 4 lines of text, then finally boots to the HD. Still cannot get my network to work properly.
Can't do too much tonite, got a meeting at the church this evening. Probably be too tired to tinker when I get home.

Once it has booted to 8.6, go to your Control Panels and open Startup disk and select the HD. It sounds like it is spending some time looking for a startup volume that is no longer there. Networking in pre-OS X systems was not as easily accomplished. When I had X installed on my computer and my wife's was running 9.2.2, hers could either be networked to my computer over our home LAN or it could connect to the internet, but not at the same time.
