Have you checked out XPostFacto 4? - see http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm This allows you to install Tiger on some early Macintosh systems includin g "Early iBooks (no Firewire)" even though Apple says you can't - I used it very successfully on a G3 beige minitower. It is open source.

It works by taking some drivers from Panther and fixing the Tiger installer so the old drivers get included in the Tiger install. This can be done because although most of MacOS is proprietary, the Darwin kernel is open source.

Good luck.
