I had the same problem installing FC4 no a G3. The machine had 3 harddrives in it, hda, sda, and sdb. Mac OS 9 was installed on it before and it was working fine, but when I tried installing FC4 it keept giving me that error message. It also gave me the same message when I disconnected the SCSI drives, but when reconnected them and disconnected hda it installed fine. I guess it didn't like the mix of drives I had. I hope this help some of you in figuring out the cause of your problem.
