find another mac. start the powerbook in firewire target disk mode by   
holding down 'T' while powering it on. connect the two macs together   
with a firewire cable. the powerbook's hard drive will show up on the   
other mac. you can then install os x as if the powerbook was an   
external hard drive of the other mac.
