I installed Panther with an ixmicro ultimateRez video card, and you're
right --- XPF 4 stops after the first disk is used (does not reboot
properly).
But, I restarted onto the 9.1 partition, and restarted with XPF (with
the Use Old NDRVS checked), and the installation resumed with the Disk
2.
Unfortunately, then Setup Assistant wouldn't continue, because it
didn't like the video card (meaning there weren't any reliable drivers
recognized), so I tried to set things up on my own.
If this sounds like something you want to go through ...
Otherwise, I installed Panther again borrowing my ATI Radeon 7000 Mac
Edition from my 8500, and Panther nearly jumped on the 9500. Then I
replaced the ixmicro card, and used XPF to reboot, or System Restart.
Seems to be working fine ... just the installation got messy at the
Reboot to Disk 2 with the non-ATI card ...
Good luck with installing Panther and/or Tiger.

I've heard that the TT cards don't work well under OS X, but to what
extent? I'm looking at putting 10.2 or 10.3 on my 9600, and am
wondering whether the disadvantes of its current 8mb TT 128 card
would be bearable or whether I should shell out for a better card.
The installation would not complete- I started up X PostFacto in
verbose mode, and it would always hang after trying to install X. Save
yourself a lot of time & effort, and look for another video card- I
bought a cheap ATI Rage Card, with 16 MB video RAM, and the
installation went perfectly, completing first time. I had a 74 GB
drive partitioned into 3, & had X 10.3.9 on 1, 9.2.2 on another, and
3rd for files, etc. I also had a cloned copy of X on the original 4 GB
drive as a fall-back start-up drive- that's to say I had 3 possible
boot drives as needed.
As it says above, I never had issues with 9.2.2 & the original video
card.
YMMV,
Pete
