Q: Help for booting from DVD on PowerBook G3 PDQ?

i Picked up a dvd rom drive for it and i stuck it into my PowerBook G3 PDQ 266mhz and it was running OS 8.5. The DVD spun a little but it kept stopping and it didn't do anything on my desktop. is there some dvd rom software that i can find to boot the computer from a dvd? It was also not responding even when i put a cd rom inside the dvd rom drive. Is it possible to boot 10.3 or 10.4 using it or is it just broken or do i HAVE to have a decoder card?

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.2.x) , Corrupted hard drive, low ram
