Yes it's possible to boot CD's on the BlizzPPC and CyberPPC cards. I asked the same question here on the forum before. Think it was master Piru who answered that ;)

It's all in the manual.

o CDBoot Pri
  define the cdrom boot priority. Check the System bootmenu for the boot priority of other devices.

o CDRom Device Name
  define the device name with which the cdrom should be mounted.
o No CDRom Bount
  CDRom Mount
  CDRom Boot

The buildin CDRom filesystem is the old Phase5 CDRive filesystem. Its feature set may not be enough for your needs.

To change filesystem:

o CDFS
 o No CDFS HD RDB Scan
   CDFS HD RDB Scan

Update the filesystem.resource with CDFS filesystems when these are placed in the RDB of HDs **BEFORE** the CD Drive at the same controller. This way you can theoretically use other cdfilesystems.

*Theoretically* means that i haven`t tested if other cd filesystem work with such startup as they may need to find their prefs.

The CDFS dostype is
#define ID_CDFS_DISK   (0x43444653L) /* 'CDFS' */
The new SCSIConfig has an automatic filesystem entry for this.
