I don't know about the unable to install part.  I'm not too surprised that
the Emergency Disk's System doesn't yet support Apple's latest products;
in time it probably will.  

You could TRY replacing "Disk First Aid" on the "Disk Tools" disk with
Norton Disk Doctor; I think there were space problems when I tried this
with my 7500/100, but if it works that would be one solution.

For the Emergency Disk part, what I did with my 7500/100 is create a
floppy with Norton Disk Doctor and Disk First Aid on it.  If/when I need
to fix my hard drive I boot from the CD-ROM (hold down 'c' key while
booting), then insert the floppy and run NDD or DFA from there.
