I don't know why, but on my machine this does only work from time
to time. I really tried that half an hour. Hearing the strings
and pressing c at the same time. Removing and interting the cdrom
again and it still boots from hard disk. OF wasn't any help but
finally after typing 'bye' it booted from cdrom and that was the
time I removed the installed MacOS and replaced it with a 300MB
installation - now we have 2.1GB for Linux. "-))
