you cannot boot into os 9.x with that ibook. This is due to a firmware-"protection". Anyway, I am sure there are some hacks out there. If you don't want to change the firmware (which I would suggest), you gotta stick to oxs and classic..

As great as 10 is I feel more comfortable working in 9 especially when I'm doing my work for web sites and graphics.
