Strip the machine - one DIMM, one HD, and just KVM. See if it will
run on that much.
Boot on an external then after it panics, put that

Yep, still bongs. No echo bongs, just a single/

Len, do you by any chance have the original CPU from that machine to
swap back in? I know my MDD started acting almost exactly like that
when my CPU was dying. Just a thought.

Nope, but I may be hitting the swap list for one.
NOT the software.
My thoughts, unfortunately
Possible problems, in likely order, bad memory,
2 matching sticks and tried swapping them around with no help.
corrupt NVRAM or PRAM, wonky devices on any drive bus (ATA,
SATA,...), wonky PCI cards, motherboard gone BAD, sick processor card.

If the tower is turquoise then it's definitely a G3. Most PC100 memory
should work. Many PC133's, too. Not all memory of either speed will
work, because of timing issues.
The DIMM First Aid utility runs under OS 9, and can see if your memory
will work:

Hi, I messed up BIG time!
After installing a new HDD, I pressed the ON/OFF button a couple of
times upon seeing that the HDD is not recognised (the multi-colored
wheel kept on spinning when I clicked on the new HDD icon). I know I
should not do that but that's too late now!

Try formatting the HD using the install disc. If it does not show up
under disc utility, then you may have to find a utility like Gparted,
put that on a disc and format and partition the HD.
I can't seem to boot, so how do I get to the disc utilty? I have to
fall back to Windows to get into this forum. If I use Gparted, do I
have to burn it to the CD in Mac? Can I do it in Windows? I can only
use WIndows now. Lastly, how do I check whether another device is on
the same channel? Sorry
Is this a second HD you just installed? Try removing it and see if you
can boot normally.

No, you can burn gparted on a windows machine.
