I registered and logged in just to complete the thread Smile If still facing the original problem with "swap partition (0) is not a valid swap area" message:
1) check with printenv what values are assigned the env variables SystemPartition and OSLoadPartition
2) they are defaulted to the lowest SCSI ID, meaning they will be probably set to your CD-ROM ->incorrect!
3) set them accordingly to your HD, with: 
        >> setenv SystemPartition scsi(0)disk(X)rdisk(0)partition(8)
        >> setenv OSLoadPartition scsi(0)disk(X)rdisk(0)partition(0)
4) exit and start CD installation.

cheers Smile
