Yes, some will boot OS 9.2.2.  See here for which models.

OS9.x on G4 imacs?

2009-07-28 Thread williamd

I read somewhere that certain models of G4 imacs can boot into os9 as  
well as X. But does this also mean they can use OS 9 without  
installing X? Thanks for any info.

Hi.

Remember Leopard has no Classic support.

However if your Mac still supports booting into OS9 and has higher  
enough requirements to support Leopard you can dual boot between to  
the two.

I do on my PowerBook G4.

 Yep, that should work! Any powermac G4 apart from the fw800 ones will
 boot os9 (either just the classic, or dual boot with X), not sure of
 the situation with 'books or anything tho, someone else will probably
 chime in though
