Instead of using F (which will cause problems in TraditionalForm), I've 
used g.

The following code determines the f'[0],..., Derivative[m][f][0] in 
terms of f[0] as replacement rules (which is usually better than 
assigning them as numerical values):

  m=4;

  Solve[f'[t] - g[f[t]] + O[t]^m == 0,    
     Table[Derivative[n][f][0], {n, m}]]

Cheers,
Paul
