Depending on if you burned the CD correctly, my solution would be to 
temporarily unplug the power from from the DVD/CD-RW drive, leaving only 
the Apple CD-ROM drive plugged in.

I'm willing to bet that the problem lies with the burned YDL CD though. 
There is a specific way you must burn the ISO using Toast in order to 
use it as a boot disk and whatnot.

If you could, reply and let me know if you're actually booting from the 
YDL CD and running the installer from there, or if you used BootX to 
load the kernel and a ramdisk from your Mac OS partition.

A little more information and we should have this straightened out soon.
