I also have a new iBook (12.1", but the system-board seems to be the same), there seems to be a kernel bug making the hard drive inaccessable when a cd is in the drive while booting up. Copy the installer files to a hfs partition on your harddisk and use openFirmware to boot into the installer (you'll find documentation on the web about installing without physical media which succeed). You also want a to get a newer kernel to make sound and airport work. i make a cd-image with all the stuff you need, you can get it from here: http://www.in-panik.de/projekte/iBook/iBook-cd-phils-2002-03.iso.bz2 Yes, i want to write a howto.... but i can't force myself to to so....
