I couldn't boot off the DVD thanks to a hosed drive in my powerbook. So, feeling frisky, I hooked my powerbook in target mode to my mini, and just started the install from it instead; choosing the powerbook's mounted drive as the target. After the install was done, I rebooted the powerbook and there was Tiger. Don't try that at home without a backup :-) I know this is an old entry, but it reminded me of my installation of tiger.

Then you can boot from that spare hard drive and install Tiger. You can use Disk Utility to restore the DMG to a spare hard drive. Then you can boot from that spare hard drive and install Tiger.
