Other than getting the original grey CD/DVD's the system came with (shipped with Mac OS-9.2.1), you could try to find the original retail version of the OS-9 this system supported that's the easies way. This system also supports Tiger (OS-X 10.4.11) as well.
Using the CD/DVD to boot up with you can then reformat the drive to a Mac compatible OS (OS-9/OS-X) making sure the drive is formatted with GUID and setup with HFS+ (Journaled File system)

Would you rather have MacOS or a GNU/Linux distribution on the laptop? You could also potentially do a dual boot.
