This is from back in the days of Zeph's wiki... (which is still out there at: http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues)

How to: Install Error loop at account creation
Issue: Upon install, the process hangs in an infinite (?) loop circling between chosing language and creating / transferring an user acount ("Do you already own a mac?").
According to the forum, the problem seems to be connected to problems concerning the network card.
Solution 1: Importing an account from an existing (Tiger) installation.
Solution 2: Booting with the flag "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32". The resulting low screen-resolution prevents the setup screen, thus skipping the "loop". As one is not able to create a new username, only the default "admin" is created. This can be changed later on.
Solution 3: Some people reported success with disabling the network card in the bios or disconnecting the cable. GO VOYN1X!!!
Solution 4: (this is what I personally do as it ensures that I don't have to worry about it while also allowing me to run other commands from within single user mode) Boot using "-s" flag then type ->
Code:
/sbin/mount -uw /
passwd root (enter your password twice here after pressing enter)
touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
reboot
