thats set to 0. it can't read from the hard drive because its set to 0 (false). you need to set that to 1 (true) in order for it to be able to read from your hard drive.
also, your network parameters are both un-commented, and yet its also set to 0. I woudl try the realtek ones first or simply comment them out (add # in front of both lines) and deal with that later
your screen number is set to -1. why? as of the build form last night (richard goodwin builds), you'll want to use 1-5...I use 5 which is 1024*768*32 bit color. if you want 800*600*15 I believe you set the start resolution to 3. someone correct me if I"m wrong
redraw interval should be lower than 200 unless you haven't installed osx yet. if you haven't, set it to 4/500. otherwise, anywhere from 40-100 should be fine. toy around with it and see what you like
your bootmethod may be booting off of the cd itself, depending on your settings for "auto". try "select" and select your hard drive image.
Let me know if that works

Thank you very much,
After about two hours I finnaly got it to work, and installed sucessfuly. I was using Pear GUI and I found it easier to do it manually.The only thing I cant get to work yet is the networking, but I will figure it out sooner or latter on my own.
Thanks Much Zack
P.S I was Prerunnerz from above

No, what I had wrong was were My master and slave was put.
Fixed:
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "C:\pearpc\PantherImage.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "c:\pearpc\mystuff.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "c:\pearpc\mystuff.iso"
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
That was my only problem..
