On my iBook G4, I was going to dual boot Tiger and Panther but the restore disks I have will not boot past a black screen with the mouse. The cursor won't move, either. Are the PB disks just not compatible with the iBook?

DUH!! Why didn't I think of that? I must have been getting confused with the 2004 iBook which could boot into Panther, but not the 2005 model.
