I had some problems with the installer on my beige G3 as well. Only parts of X
got installed and the installer never did boot into X. I tried several different
methods of installation, but X didn't install, whether I selected the individual
packages or everything, or both. I ended up having to manually install the
remaining packages, and configured X with xautoconfig, which I also had to
install by hand. Weird, some people had it work well, and others have had the
exact same problem.
