Sometimes I have had success booting from the cd by holding the key combo
command/option/shift/delete plus the scsi id of the cd drive as I have 2 cd's, 3 HD's
and a zip in my Umax - but I don't really know whether this is supposed to work -
perhaps it looks around for a system and takes pot luck. Long fingers is useful too.
