When this problem occurs (my own doing) the only way out that I've
found to correct this situation  is to do a force shut-down, i.e. hold
down the power button until the system shuts down.

Upon re-powering the platform if I don't hold the "C" key, telling the
Boot ROM that I want to boot from the DVD I'm right back into the trap
of no Boot Disk found.

However holding down the "C" key the MDD will boot into the OS X 10.5
DVD "Commercial Version" at which time I can go the "Select Startup
Disk" and restart into any of my disk,


Not a solution exactly but have you tried holding down the option key at boot up when in this situation. That should give you a selection of every bootable disk.
