10.5: Install 10.5 on an unsupported PowerPC iMac

After I typed

boot cd:,:tbxi

I got the error

can't OPEN cd:,:tbxi

After doing some googling I tried

boot cd:,\\:tbxi

and that seems to have worked. It's testing the consistency of the install disc right now. This is on an 800 MHz QuickSilver.
