The PowerBook won't boot off of the same system as your iMac. It requires Panther, and even if you've been running Panther on the iMac, it may need different/additional files.
I might not have been following an earlier conversation, but he did say refurb powerbook, but not which one. If it's a TiBook, then it should boot just about anything from 9.x on up shouldn't it? The first powerbooks to require OS X were the 12" and 17" AlBooks, and of course now the new 15" AlBook.
