Well, it seems the original problem was that I had my monitor hooked up

Great!
After removing the card and using the on board video, it started to install. I got to the point where you select a destination disk. But, it didn't give me any choices. Kind of like it didn't see either HD.

So, I redid my SCSI bus so the CD ROM and HD's are on the same bus.
Now it doesn't detect the CD ROM. So now I can't boot in to OS 9.1 with
the CD ROM hooked up. It checks the CD ROM and nothing else.
Did it work fine before you changed it? If it did change it back. Installing OS X shouldn't give you any problems if your configuration is "normal," if I may allowed to call it that. Did it mount the disk and show it on the desktop before? If so, go back and undo what you did. It seems however you have set up your bus, it is only going so far as to check your CD-ROM for start-up. When it doesn't find it, it stops looking. It's confused and doesn't know where to turn. You could, of course, try resetting the PRAM; that has may times fixed issues at start-up.
I still believe that you should reformat the destination drive and reload OS 9 on it. Then set the destination drive as your start-up. Restart and launch XPF on that drive and then attempt to put X on it.
HTH,
