I'm curious: if you install 9 over 8.5, where are you getting 9.x from? Try force quitting the setup assistant (Command-Option-Esc) and see if it will let you past it. Check the startup folder for the setup assistant. If it's just the assistant, it can be turned off and isn't necessary anyway...

I work for a school district and saved 4 iMacs from certain death or eternal
storage. I put them in my "PC" lab. I am actually the PC lab tech and
supervisor among other things. Anyway, I loaded OS 9 and made sure they had
the firmware update. Every time I try and run the setup wizard that load
right after they finish installing 9 and restart it locks up. The lady that
used to care for the Macs quit and I don't know where her CD's are so I
don't have a bootable OS 9 CD so I had to install 8.5 then install OS 9 over
it. Or under it, however Macs work. I also tried booting with the USB
keyboard and mouse unplugged. This didn't work either. They seems to operate
fine as long as I don't run the wizard. Has anyone encountered this problem
before? here are the specs:


G3 333MHz
160MB RAM
6GB HD
OS 9

I am also going to try the 9.1 and then 9.2 updates.

Thanks,
