The BIOS do not allow any changes to the cd drive.  I tried a FreeBSD 
4.6 and 5.1 cd, only ones I have, and neither one will boot.  4.6 get to 
will get to the hit enter to boot and the 5.1 will get to the menu, but 
no options will get you further. Again you hear the cd drive wind down 
and the computer shuts off.
