Well, guess what, I just tried and mine doesn't boot from CD anymore
either, using my OS9 CD and MOL 0.9.68.  It did from a version I used
several months ago, but I can't remember exactly which version that
was--it was before the new CD-ROM support was added.  Which is to say,
it only recognized CDs on startup, and if you wanted to change one,
you'd have to shut down, put in a new CD, and re-start.

Clearly the "real" CD support is more convenient, except for the minor
problem of not being able to boot off the install CD.  ;)  Also, I
noticed that once in a while, if I eject a CD and then say "oops, I
still want that one" and put it back in, MOL doesn't necessarily
recognize it.  I don't think this has happened with putting a
different CD in.  I'm not quite sure if these problems are the result
of my el-cheapo CD-ROM, or a bug in MOL.

Anyway, I don't know what to say...maybe try making another partition
big enough for a CD, format it as HFS in Linux, copy the CD to that
partition, and see if MOL would boot off that?  Not sure if that would
work...haven't tried it....
