Ray, I've successfully burnt a bootable CD with BootCD. The actual creation of the CD is not unreasonably long and it is, overall, pretty straightforward. However, the actual booting of your powerbook from this CD is VERY slow. Half an hour may even be about right. Why that is so, I don't know. My advice would be to go and have a cup of tea and forget about it for a while, while it's booting. Francesc in Barcelona.
