I have booted a Classic with 1.0 (it may have been 1.1, actually) and it worked fine.
Basically, anything with the original 68000 processor except the Portable/PB100 will boot with an older version of the system. It just won't work with all the features of said system (such as a lack of a brightness control panel for the Classic).
