The two Cube models came pre-installed with Mac OS 9.0.4, and
therefore could not boot into OS 9.0. No Macs can boot into any OS
versions lower than what they came pre-installed with.

Cubes shipped with MacOS 9.0.4 so what do you mean by they can't
boot OS 9?

In April 2011, I found a legal copy of OS X Server 1.2 server on
Amazon.com, of all places. I tried a few things to make it work,
but
was non-successful.
I¹m just trying to install Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 on my G4 AGP
Graphics. I
found that the installation disc has two bootable volumes: the
first one
is a
Mac OS 9 (specifically 9.0) boot disc that has the installer on it.
You
can
also use Drive Setup to initialize a volume so you can choose one
for
the
installation.
Knowing that the Cube cannot boot Mac OS 9.0 there is your problem.
Later, I purchased an early G4 from the LEM list that was on the
HCL and
was still unsuccessful with 1.2.
Which Mac did you collect, exactly? (If you¹re not sure, you may
want to
use
Mactracker or Onyx to find out, or, if you¹re brave: System
Profiler).
Today, my Server 1.2 box is sitting on my book shelf. I need to get
motivated again, and come up with plan C !
You should definitly give it another try.
Contact me should you be interested.

Andreas aka Mac User #330250
