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.
