Hi, Your computer will only run OS-9 in "Classic" mode so you would need OS -10 installed first and then OS-9 in Classic mode. Only early iBook 3's will boot directly into OS-9. You should be able to get by with Panther (OS-10.3) but a better solution would be to obtain a copy of OS-10.4 Tiger. Good luck.
