Snother key combination that might do the trick, rather than C
at startup, is Cmd-Opt-Shift-Delete.
You can also boot it by breaking into OpenFirmware. (I recently
added this section to the manual in my .sig).

If your system doesn't boot directly from CD-ROM, you can still use
the CD-ROM to install the system. You can also use an OpenFirmware
command to boot from the CD-ROM manually. Follow the instructions in
<ref id="boot-newworld"> for booting from the hard disk, except use
the path to yaboot on the CD at the OF prompt, such as
0 > boot cd:,install\powermac\yaboot

(In chapter 5).
