Which scsi card do you have? Download the latest scsi driver from Apple, get the card id number first, and then google it. That is one problem you can fix easily, the second one is which CD drive are you using? Is it an Apple CD drive? If so, switch it with any modern CD drive and try again. The Apple drives were pretty flakey and are now at the end of their days. I had the same problems on a minitower but by switching the drives and updating the scsi driver, OS 10.2.8 installed immediately.
If you're going to deal with an older Mac, expect problems but then expect to be able to fix them. Nothing about these machines is dead simple and easy, but once you get the OS loaded, you are in for a real treat. The more you screw around, the smarter you are. Don't give up!
