Guess not, i installed of an OS 8.5 ISO and updated to 8.6.
So I guess 8.5 is the lowest, since currently no old-world ROM is supported on the windows version.

Update #2:
I am now able to boot to OS 8.6 (installed) with extensions on, jit=false. I was able to change my desktop picture, theme, and run simple text. It is working well
Clicking the "Get Quicktime" icon caused SheepShaver to quit without error.

During one of my installations (I think it was 8.5), The OS ran some kind of first-run config utility. It asked me what my time zone is, my name, company name, etc. At one point it wanted to setup (or check) my network connection. This caused it to hang indefinetly.
Perhaps anything that attempts to connect to the internet or network crashes?
Also, accessing the "Monitors and Sound" control panel in 8.5 caused a quit without error message. I have not yet tried this in OS 8.6.

Unrelated to the post above me, but, I've noticed that SheepShaver won't work for me when jit is enabled If I try to use jit normally, it hangs during boot.. But it -will- work when I disable extensions (Mind you, no text is visible. Anywhere, as in, it works, but no text), or turn jit off. Is this inherent in SheepShaver's code? Or is it a problem of incompatability with my CPU, or, what? Just trying to pin-point exactly what's causing this behaviour.
EDIT: If you skip loading modules, you don't get the run-time errors.
