Thanks for the suggestion. I gave up, so nevermind, unless anyone has an authoritative answer. I removed the newly created partition and installed Snow Leopard Server as an update to the already installed Snow Leopard client. Everything went smoothly.

I am leaving the original installed system and created a new 750 GB partition on which to install the Server. The original system appears to run just fine--nothing particularly obvious is wrong. However, the server install has been a huge headache. The installation itself is excruciatingly slow--long delays between mouse moves and clicks, etc. Eventually, the system appears to install, but then it never actually boots up--I get to a black screen with a beachball (often not even spinning).
