On OSX server there is a copy of MySQL already installed and just
installing the MySQL binary doesn't necessarily bypass it. Try
logging on as root with no password, you may still be booting from
Apple's data directory rather than MySQL's... starting mysqld using "/
usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &" will generally avoid that
problem... this is the one MySQL installed.
You should also create a /etc/my.cnf file that will tell it what data
directory you want and all your other specific settings.
It can be quite troublesome getting around Apple's install as they
tend to install it back again at various system updates.

I had the same problem with both of these:
mysql-standard-4.1.14-apple-darwin7.9.0-powerpc.dmg
and
mysql-standard-4.0.26-apple-darwin7.9.0-powerpc.dmg
They seem to install OK, but when I set the root password I can't
get in
afterwards as root.
Clues?
