I had a similar set-up that worked fine for years. The directions that you list above are correct. IFRC, you have to take a look at the Beige's current processor....there were issues with some of them that interfered with the installation of the Sonnet card. Do you see that in your instruction manual? If you are planning on installing OS X, be sure that the Sonnet is installed first.
