How far does the boot go? Are you sure you've got "boot from CD"
selected in the BIOS? Can you boot from other bootable CDs?

Have you ever booted from CD-R(W)s before? Occasionally, the drive will
take so long to detect that there's a rewritable disk in the drive that
the BIOS will give up. One "solution" can be to carefully time when
you insert the CD, so that the CD is still spun up when the BIOS tries
booting from it.
