iBook Os 9 not booting.

I forgot what the procedure was for a non-booting old clam shell iBook.

I reset the PR Ram... removed the battery, and put it back in. The system showed the 'non system folder' signs. I turned it on it blinked the system folder and the '?' sign pictures.

Apple provided no support for Os 9 at all do they now? Lets see... I reset PRRAM and I tried booting off a CD... uh...

Anything?

Thanks people.

This model has become old... I don't want to use lot of $ for a new HD.

Okay so I booted off my old Apple Protection (OS 9) disk and it seems to say my Hard drive was not selected as booting...
It okay took 5 Disk Utilty runs in a row to say that a problem was there.
