fail while trying to install leopard on 700 mhz iMac

[feffo_]

hi everyone, i've spent some hours trying to fake out the leopard installer in order to install leopard on my old 700 mhz 17'' iMac. i've tried Leopard assist, this code

dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0 
d# 867000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property 
d# 867000000 encode-int " min-clock-frequency" property 
d# 867000000 encode-int " max-clock-frequency" property 
multi-boot 

and this code

dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0
d# 867000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property
boot cd:,\\:tbxi

but no one of the method above works, when i get into the leopard install it says to me that it's impossibile to install leopard on my mac.

while entering "dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0", open firmware says "can't find device" and while entering "d# 867000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property" open firmware says "no active package"

how can i solve this problem?

Macs under 800 MHz cannot run Leopard.

leopardassist and that two codes are used to run leopard on macs with processor under the apple cutoff of 867 mhz

Oh, then sorry. ^^;

Feffo,

I am using an 800 mHz. I tried the same work around. The first time I entered it, everything worked. I was able to open the Leopard installer and begin installation. But. the installation failed so I tried to reinstall. When I entered the code the next time, I got the same results as you. I have also tried rebooting with Cmd-Opt-P-R to clear settings. I still get the 'can't find device', etc. Were you able to resolve your issue and install leopard?

 

TIA
