Not sure I qualify as an expert, but what messages is it giving you when you 
try and boot it from the install cd/dvd?
If you have another mac available, can you boot the powerbook into target disk 
mode and hook them together with a firewire cable and install the OS from the 
other mac?
Hope that makes some sort of sense
