Hi I have a PowerBook G4 with an 80GB hard drive and it is running Leopard fine.
The drive was cloned from my Pismo which had 10.4 and 9.2.2 on the same drive and same partition and I could boot to either. When I got my G4, I cloned the drive and then upgraded the 10.4 to 10.5. Until now I have not booted to OS9. I tried it today and OS9 showed up in the Start Up Disc pane. But on reboot it just showed the floppy disc with a question mark. I then did the ALT button to get the boot options and it only brought up the Leopard installation, but after selecting that it still brought up the floppy disc with a question mark. In the end I booted from my iPod which has the 10.4 installation files restored to it, and choose Start Up Disc and selected the Leopard option and it rebooted and is working fine. I just wondered why I can no longer boot to OS9. I know Leopard doesn't support Classic. But when I had my G4 'Sawtooth' tower, I had three hard drives each with a different OS on them. I had 10.5, 10.4 and OS9 and could always boot to what OS I wanted without any hassles.
