Unfortunately as I just found in 10.3's installer, you can't install on a partition larger than 8.0GB (it doesn't have to be in the first 8GB, just 8GB or less). I think this is because the installer sees the machine it is installing to as the oldest it supports, which of course is one that has the 8GB ATA problem, and thus it assumes the problem exists without checking for SCSI availability. Since it doesn't support the beige G3 it probably assumes it;s an iMac 233 and thus that it is not capable of having SCSI installed.
I have 10.3.2 installed on an 11 gig partition of a SCSI drive. No problems at all.
In fact, I have 2 installs. I have a 33 gig SCSI drive split into 3, 11 gig partitions. I have 10.3.2 on 2 partitions. So, not only is there no 8 gig limit, there is no "first 8 gig of the drive" limit either.
This is on my S900. It has a couple of other SCSI drives - an 18 gig single partition with 10.2.8 installed, and a 9 gig with 9.2.2 installed.
I don't know what's causing your problem, but it is not the 10.3 installer.
