Start from the install CD....or...You can also grab files off it by connecting to another Mac thru Firewire and start the iBook in Target Disk mode, to mount the disk on another desktop, even if it won't boot...

try to boot it in OS9 and check if it needs firmware updates

how do you start it on Target disk mode

For target disk mode:
power down iBook
plug into another mac, via firewire
hold down "T" key
power on iBook
