Unfortunately I cant use PXE to install as Its a Powerbook G4. 
I know that their is an option to install using Open Firmware, just don't
know how as I never used it.

I installed ubuntu onto a server without a drive easily enough.

The web is full of instructions, here's one that describes

Google had lots of others.
