Hi wamuggers on this bright Sunday morning, it's good to be alive :-)

I have a Laptop iBook 500/256 running 10.3.3 without OS 9.x installed.
I wish to install it. When I set start up disk in prefs to the
installer disk and attempt to do so I get 'Bus error' and i am
recommended to start with Shift key down. I do so, get the 'extensions
off'  sign but still get the same recommendation to start with  shift
key down. Can anyone help me to sort the problem out.
TIA

Do you have the original install disks for the iBook? You will find that 9.1 won't work on that model, so that is why you are getting a bus error. You will probably need to use the installer disks that came with the iBook,
which may have had a version of 9.2.

Seeya

Rod!
