Decline the installer's invitations to load drivers or look for
hardware until you're installed.
You'll have text mode console, and ssh from other machines, until you
get the correct drivers in place.

The nvidia cards work just fine in normal 2D mode out of the box, so
getting through the install does not require the nvidia drivers - after
you're up and running, you need only download the drivers directly to
your linux system and run the installer, so no intermediate download to
a windows pc is required or even desirable.
It is likely some other incompatibility in your system - does your
motherboard have a via chipset? what type of CPU? There are some
command
line switches for the installer that could help, for instance typing
linux apm=off ide=nodma
or similar at the first installer prompt may get you through it.
FWIW I just installed Fedora Core 1 (think of it as RH 9.1) on a
Hyperthreading P4-2800 with a nvidia GeForce 5200 and it went
beautifully, so perhaps that's something to try if all else fails on
RH9.
