Yes, holding the 'c' key at boot will cause it to boot from the cd-rom.
Also, just for fun, try holding the Option key. You should get a pretty
screen with icons of all your boot devices that you can click on and then
boot from.
It's a crap load better than pressing F2 to enter BIOS setuup :)
-n.. wondering if crap load is one word, two words, or jsut hyphenated.
