AFAIK, OpenFirmware on the Powerbook G4 will not boot from USB devices, except if its a CDROM. Or at least that was what I found when trying to install Ubuntu/Gentoo/Lubuntu on my PBG4.
Unless the drive isn't stock, I believe all Powerbook G4's should be able to read from and boot from DVDs, so you may want to consider burning a DVD for use with Lubuntu, if you're able to.
