Well, I don't know what procedure you are following. The standard
practice on a Mac is to press a key early in the boot to get a "boot
menu" that lets you choose the device. IIRC the key is 'O' (for
Option?).

The PRAM remembers that option, so next time it boots it tries the
same disk. If you remove the disk (CDROM, external HD) it might get
confused.

So after booting from a CD-ROM, you want to either boot again with the
O pressed and choose the internal disk for booting, or reset the PRAM.

cheers,
