I've had trouble with my Beige G3 300 successfully installing OS X on IDE drives. (or the IDE drive I have). It installs fine on SCSI drives though. One thing I tried was installing OS X on a 4GB SCSI drive I had and then I used Apple Software Restore (just drag the drive with OS X on it onto Apple Software Restore and it will ask you where you'd like to restore the drive to, then choose the new drive) and moved everything to my IDE drive and then it worked perfectly. <shrug>
Try installing it on the original drive.
