Booting from YDL 3.0 CD on Apus 2000

Hi,

I'm not sure if i am subscribed to this list or not (i didn't get a reply 
to my confirmation email), so can you please CC to my email address if you 
reply. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone could help me...

I have an old Apus 2000 Mac i got cheap, and it has neither a MacOS CD nor 
MacOS installed on the HDD. I thought i would stick YDL on it...
However, when i put the CD in and turn the machine on, it doesn't seem to 
want to boot from the CD. I burned it from the ISO on FTP, and have 
checked that the CD is okay by mounting it on my x86 box.
What happens:
Black and white 1 pixel chequered screen comes up, with a smiling Mac 
picture in the centre... a few seconds later, a floppy disc with a 
flashing question mark appears in the center.
I think this machine *can* boot from CD, as i put a MacOS 9.2 CD in it 
once, and though that OS doesn't seem to be compatible with this machine, 
it did get as far as booting the CD and displaying a message which told me 
as such.

So, is there any way to install YDL on this machine... maybe a YDL boot 
floppy? I've been looking on Google for a while with this... the closest i 
can find is something that requires using the Tasty Morsels CD - but if 
this YDL CD wont boot, i am sceptical that that one will too.

Thanks for any help,
 - Daniel
