Well, what OS are you running? It seems in my experience that the Startup
Disk Control Panel in most of the more modern MacOSes won't even let you
select the YDL 2.0 CD as a startup disk, is it greyed out. So the fact that
you were actually able to select it and have it give you an error makes me
think that maybe you have an older version of MacOS?...
I cannot boot from the install CD via the Startup Disk Control Panel,
either... But I can, however, use the C key during reboot. :)
Hope this helps.
