The point is that, in contrast to all other PCs I had, on Macs you cannot 
enter the BIOS setup and configure the boot order. You have to press the 
"Option ⌥" key while powering on the Mac. That will allow you to enter the 
Startup Manager, where you'll see a list of all bootable devices available, 
and choose the one you need (e.g. a bootable DVD-ROM).
