I want to load Jag on a small partition to use some wireless 
utilities that don't seem to want to work with panther.

Pat, I ran into a similar situation (see my message "PowerBook won't 
boot from Panther CD")

I was able to get it to boot from the Install CD that came with the 
PowerBook and did an "Archive & Install" The CD installed 10.3.3 so I 
guess that is the MINIMUM version of OS X that will boot up the 15" 
PowerBook.

What you might try is to erase and partition the drive, re-install 
whatever version of 10.3 that came pre-installed, and then try 
installing 10.2 on the other partition. Then try changing the the 
start-up disk to the 10.2 system. Be warned that you may get a kernal 
panic.
