If you have the rare Tiger CD set (different than the normal DVD) it
should boot fine. If you can't get it to boot, you might try the
Option key boot with the CD already in the CDROM.
If you've got the DVD it won't boot unless you replace the CDROM with
a DVD capable drive of some sort. You can alternatively boot from a
external Firewire DVD (or even an external USB, although this is
problematic).
Another alternative is using Firewire Target Disk mode (Cmd-T at
startup) which makes the iBook appear as an external HD to another
Mac. You'd boot the DVD in the other Mac, and attach the iBook
(already booted in Target Disk Mode) via Firewire cable and then
install normally to the iBook's HD.
