This has happened with a cd that was burned (burnt?) a while ago (it has 9.0.4 on it I believe) and with a cd that was burned in OS X just today. I tried it a few times with no luck. Just for your info., it's Verbatim media and I used Toast to burn it. Also, it saw the CD in the Startup Disk pane as a valid startup disk...but when either choosing the CD from the Startup Disk pane or holding the "c" key when starting up, it always just boots from my hard drive.
