I have seen this with G5's with either of the Apple CD drives. I had burnt
the CD on a PC. One of my colleagues who make the CD off of a Mac had no problem.
If I use a generic cdrom player from my PC (yes open the Mac
and replace the cdrom) then all works well (boots from CD when holding down
the "C" key) . Have not figured out why.

I know this has been beat to death but I can't find anyting on my particular
problem. What I have is the Blue and White G3. The YDL 4.0 CD doesn't boot when
I hold C. I can get into the Open Firmware (it is version 3.1.1) using CMD



Another possibility? Did you properly burn the ISO image. Folks have been know to just copy the image to a cd which won't cut it.
