If you do nothing else, do yourself the favour of going back to taws. Re-initialize the logic board. (No power, no battery, no PCI cards, no daughter card, no ground connection.)
Then start again from the ground (ie bottom) up, one addition at a time, beginning with the daughter card and booting from an OS 9 CD after each addition.
Having plenty of native G3 machines to run 10.2.x, 10.3.x and 10.4.x, I have never attempted to install OS X on my 9600 (né an 8600). Nonetheless, from a G3/500MHz (ZIF) supporting OS 9.2.2 flawlessly, it also handles a 24x CD-ROM, 3 x 9GB and 1 x 18GB IBM drives from an Adaptec card, AsantéFAST NIC, USB/FireWire combo card and ATI XClaim 3D Pro. Be systematic and you'll arrive in Kansas territory.
