The JaS discs have been modified to boot on a BIOS system, e.g. a regular PC. It won't boot on your G5.

You'll need to obtain an Apple-made, unpatched OS X install disc. Make sure it's a PowerPC version of the OS. The newest version you can buy or otherwise obtain pirate2.gif is 10.4.6; then you can update it to 10.4.9.

Wow, that gave me a good laugh right there... wanting to use a Hackintosh disk on a real Mac.

Yes, you do need an actual Apple Mac OS X PPC Installation disk.
Sure, all of the retail ones are PPC-only, but there are some Mac OS X Intel Installation disks floating around on various torrent sites that work on all Intel Macs.

Either buy one or grab one from Demonoid, TPB or Oink.
Just avoid the Hackintosh variety. Those are Intel.

Um....try burning with disk utility then boot the computer while holding the "C" button on your keyboard.
Also, make sure that the disk is for PowerPC and not for Intel only.
