Unfortunately, the r4 CDs were made incorrectly, and they are not
bootable.  If you can find an r3 image somewhere, then try that.
Otherwise, basically your only option is netbooting.  Read

For newer hardware like the iBook 2001 you might have to use dhcpd
instead of bootp.

Making bootable woody CD images is getting higher on my todo
list...
