what i did so far:

removed hd and installed 10.5.6 with the mechdrew method 4 externally

maybe this could help as well, cause i saw that the chipsets are quite the same.

screen sharing does not work, qbox crashes after connecting
booting is still about 5 minutes.
sleep does not work :-)

@admin
for the osx386 database, a systems button would be great.
