Does anyone think removing the Adaptec 2930CU would help? I know on some unsupported Mac's removing certain PCI cards is necessary to install OS X. But then the B & W (rev 1) is supported. And according to the Adaptec site so is the
2930CU.

I had problems installing OS X 10.1 and 10.2 while my Adaptec 2930CU was installed, removing the card fixed the installation issue. Funny enough OS X 10.3 installed just fine with the card installed.

Removing that card is one of the things I would try first. Second I would make sure that only one memory module is installed, preferrably the one which came with the Mac, because sometimes out of spec memory can cause strange things. You can put 'em back when you're done installing the OS, nine out of ten times they will still work fine. Also remove all but the original PCI video card to be sure nothing is interferring with the installation.

Make sure you've jumpered the HD for master according to the settings on the site of the manufacturer, or sometimes it's printed on top of the HD or at the bottom (FYI: some Western Digital HD's need to have no jumper at all to make 'em master). Do not connect a slave HD to the master HD on a rev 1 B&W G3, it can cause corruption or other funky things. One big HD jumpered for master should be fine, I still have a 40GB boot disk in mine, there are people with much bigger drives in their rev. 1's.

HTH,
Marc
