First, do you want a dual boot situation?  Second, when attempting to
boot from Cd, other than holding down C have you tried booting from
open firmware?  I.E at the Open Firmware prompt type 

"boot cd:,\\yaboot"

And last but not least, reset the nvram.  For some reason Apple HW,
loves this partcular procedure.

Do you know if the OF has been upgraded on that particular machine?

Keep us posted
