If the drive is erasable then boot to the OS 9 disk and go ahead and initialize the disk. Install OS 9 then boot the hard drive. Restart the Mac a few times to make sure ever thing is cool. Insert the OS X disk and start the installation process. Doing it that order should work out better than what you've got now.

However I'm trying to do the same with an AGP G4 and am having trouble. I've installed 10.2.8 then start up with an OS 9 disk but unlike the other Macs I've done this with, in the AGP OS 9 does not recognize the hard disk and wants to reinitialize. I was thinking that I might try a 9.2 disk and maybe that will work but an AGP is supposed to work with 8.6
