Try to boot using maxmem=2048 bootflag, that should avoid you from getting Kernel Panics during the install process. There are fixed nforce drivers for later use on the installed system.

If you're getting stuck on the grey apple screen, you should boot into diagnostic (verbose) mode, using -v boot option to get hold of error messages or similiar...
