Sigh..this was the 8-gig limit we've been talking about.

On the Beige G3's and some 1st gen iMacs, a bug in the onboard IDE 
controller code limits OSX to being installed in the first 8 gigs on a 
drive. As you found, it will not install otherwise.

You need to reformat and re-partition the drive on that controller.

I did reformat it and used only one partition.  I even did it in X using the
Disk Utility.  Still didn't work.
