I found that the optical drive in a Titanium PowerBook is the same model used 
in the G4 mini. But I've also had good luck with net installs. I run tftpd from 
OS X on my Intel mini, let my G4 mini get an address from DHCP (auto taken care 
of when you use 'boot enet'), then specify the tftp server in my boot params. 
My open firmware command looks something like: boot enet:192.168.111.34,yaboot
