Aug 13, 2013 1:47 PM in response to tmalveyby Knucklesmac,Hello and welcome to the support community.
Why do you need to go into the firmware?
If the disk is a boot disk like Mac OS X, then all you need to do is hold down 'C' key or the option key while the disk is in the drive and the iBook is booting up (After the chime)
If either doesn't work, then there must be an issue with the disk not being a boot disk or corrupted. Alternatively a problem with the optical drive. You don't need to go into the firmware to change any boot selection.
Hope this helps

Aug 13, 2013 3:13 PM in response to Knucklesmacby tmalvey,well thats also a problem. there are no scratches on the cd so i dont think there is a problem with that. if i hold c, nothing happens. when i had linux still on the hd the ibook still would not boot. of course i got the software off ebay. do you think skipping the hd boot by holding (option,command,shift,delete) would do anything?
