If you solve the gray-screen issue but have CD-ROM issues, here's what 
I'd do:

Get a floppy with minimal 7.6 on it.  Copy that to the hard drive so 
it'll boot from that.  Then copy the network/AppleTalk extensions to 
the hard drive with floppies.  After you have the networking 
established, just use a serial cable (printer cable) to copy between 
your desktop Mac and the PowerBook.  It's very slow, but I've done it 
before.  Mount the OS installer CD on your desktop Mac's desktop, then 
run the installer over the "network" via the serial cable.  Like I 
said, it'll take a while, but you can probably just let it go over 
night.  Yes, I'm a cheapskate ;-)

Good luck!
