I am using the black Leopard disk, not a grey disk. That was a much more polite way of asking if I was trying to pirate the upgrade than what I read on a similar thread on the list.
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of your being sold a gray disk represented by the seller as being a retail one, which seems to be an all too frequent problem. But since you mentioned it, I assume you are aware that each Mac needs a license for the OS it runs, so unless this Mac is covered by a site license of some sort, it should have its own copy of the retail disk, which includes the license.
Could it be that 867 MHz PowerPC G4 doesn't load Leopard?
From your description, it sounds like the G4 won't even boot from the DVD's smaller version of Leopard that just supports the installer & a few utilities, much less the full version the DVD should be able to install on the PB's startup disk. IIRC, the TechTool disk is a CD, not a DVD. Can you boot the G4 from any bootable DVD, or if no other bootable DVD is available, can it read the contents of (for instance) a commercial movie DVD?
