But how would you explain OS9 not booting?
Let me explain the OS9 issue. I installed it over FW, it is original 9.1 CD which came with the first release of OX and it wouldn't boot either, is that indicative of anything? I installed OS9, it didn't work so I formatted the drive and installed OSX afterward, and that's where I am at now, so there is no OS9 on it now.
OK I will install RAM and let you know, this is brand new memory (Kingston, not even opened yet) I had ordered for this model of iBook so if it doesn't work then it can't be RAM.

Good call on the low memory.
May be the problem, but minimum for both Jaguar and Panther (according to Apple) is 128MB.

Just caught the first line. 64 megs of ram isn't enough to boot into X.iBook 500 (dual USB) 64MB of RAM, CD ROM drive dead.
OF works fine, I can do a printenv at the prompt and the boot-device
shows the correct default for new world machines as being, hd:,\\:txbi
Jaguar needs 128 megs and I think Panther needs 256 megs.
