What iBook do you have? Is your bus really 66 MHz?

It means that the timebase and decrementers of the processor (used
for time-keeping) run at this rate.

Sorry for the confusing expression, I meant somewhere in the directory
tree below /proc/device-tree. For example on my tower, I have:
$ ls /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,G4/*freq*
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,G4/bus-frequency
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,G4/clock-frequency
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,G4/timebase-frequency
but yours will be different since ibooks with G4 are hard
to find. The values are binary, so to have an idea of what they mean:
od -td4 `find /proc/device-tree/ -name timebase-frequency`
