I have a Wallstreet that was booting unreliably, with somewhat similar
symptoms (although booting from a CD was fine). The problem turned out
to be an almost-dead hard drive. Perhaps try removing it, then booting
from CD?
Cheers,
Ben

The wallstreet with 512 megs ram, Blue Chip G4, 500mhz has stopped
booting. I cannot boot into OS9. I get error box with no info after
the first Icon mounts the desktop. I get the same box with error
message Bus Error or Illegal Instruction when booting from CD. Bing a
wall street it cannot boot from OSX. I have removed the processor, put
in 233 no cache original, all ram, replacing with 128meg chip. Still
no boot. I can boot from OS8 disk and install OS8.1. Reformated and
installed to second partion. Installed OS 9 and back to same no boot
situation. Any IDeas? Me thinks may be bad MOBoard.
