Here’s how you Boot from a CD on a Mac.
Restart the Computer.
Hold down the “c†key when the computer boots up.
It really doesn’t get much simpler than that. 🙂

One catch though, you have to press the “c” key before you hear the “dong!”. At least on my mac mini. I wasted almost an hour try to boot on the Ubuntu live ppc version before I realized I had to press the “c” key before it actually boots.
