The usual reset procedure on most iBooks is to hold Shift-Control-Option, then press the power button.
Certain older G3 iBooks have a reset button on the left edge, near the headphone jack. Most do not have any reset button.
Do you have an iBook G3, or G4? G4s have a slot-loading CD drive, and will say 'iBook G4' on the display bezel. The iBook G3 simply says iBook, and has a tray-loading CD drive.
Does your iBook have a memory chip in the slot under the keyboard? Try reseating that chip, or try a different RAM chip.
If you think the memory chip is OK, or can't really check that, then you may have a kernel panic because of a corrupted OS X install. That means that you should try to reinstall OS X - and you will need an OS X installer disk for that.
