Hello all,
I am looking to install Mac OS 10.5 Leopard on my iBook G3 Clamshell with a G4 swap. Ive clone a fresh copy of 10.5 from my QS and have verified it is bootable. Upon boot up it throws a kernel panic saying "no driver found for a powerbook 2,1". The Mac itself is a 533MHZ G4, and is capable to running leopard(choppily). I was wondering how to change the system ID so that I can boot the Mac. I can boot into Open Firmware and was hoping to find away to bypass the system ID check.
Thanks.

This may be of some help.

No luck. I guess I should be re-writing it on the firmware file/ROM. Open Firmware deletes everything after reboot. Tried making the system think it was a Powerbook6,3 and 6,5 but that didn't seem to do it.
