I read online that all Macs will boot off the CD, even if they aren't Apple CDs. Apparently, only Apple CD-ROMs will work with the "C" key held down, but there is an arcane chord according to one website: "cmd-opt-shift-delete immediately after startup and as long as there's a bootable CD in the drive and there isn't another bootable drive on the SCSI bus (other than your normal boot drive), it will boot from the CD-ROM." I will be trying this tonight after work, and will report back. -Lavode -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
