I did a search a couple of weeks ago. I eventually found the answer,
although it was kind of a pain.
Following the directions from the following post (See Workaround section)

Pntium 4 with win 2000?
Oracle *will* be supporting installations of all products on Pentium
IV-based machines very shortly. The old ALERT containing the clumsy
workaround has been pulled, and two new workarounds are currently being
evaluated. One of the new workarounds simply consists of renaming a
single file - symcjit.dll - and then
proceeding with the installation.
Oracle QA is currently doing ongoing testing with this issue. Below is
the orig. note I beleve may be pulled shortly.

Oracle Installer 8.1.X Hangs on Machines with Pentium 4 Processors
This alert was modified 16-January-2001 by specifying specific Oracle
Universal
Installer Versions in the the Versions Affected section.
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines with
Pentium 4
Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 8.1.5
============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.6.0.9.0
Oracle 8.1.6
=============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.0.19.0
Oracle 8.1.7
==============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT, Windows
2000
and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal Installer
(8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the installer
hangs.
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version of the
Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK 1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knownissue.ht
m
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are:
"Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK 1.2
Copyright (C)
1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".
DLLs older than this will also not work. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these tools with
"-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify "-nojit"
for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard disk ,say,
e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications (Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead
of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles\Expand
ed)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead
of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataFiles\Ex
panded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the first
argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard drive
(i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since the
absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will not be
launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and there is
no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration Assistant
if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for the most
recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually. NOTE: the
OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one with the
most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for Net8CA, not
the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through the
installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in the
ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit -classpath
....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from the Start
Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.
