Here is an FAQ about Ubuntu on Macs - should apply similarly to SoaS.
Reads like indeed you need a CD:

I'm pretty sure you will definitely need the CD Helper. But I was
able to boot my iBook with one so I'm very much looking forward to
your results!
Thanks,

Hi...
I've been trying to get the SugarLabs usb stick, Walter so kindly
sent, to boot on my MacBook. I can get it to recognize the stick
but when I try to boot from it, following the instructions from
Apple Tech Support, it goes instead into OSX. The stick shows as a
third drive on my desktop and I can open it and see that the files
are there. The "read me" file comes up blank.
I think someone mentioned having to use something they may have
called a "virtual box" to get it to boot on the Mac. I hope someone
can fill me in on how to do this. I want to be able to show it at
the LAUSD InfoTech event at the LA Convention Center this Saturday.
So, I do still have some time to work out the kinks.
The Mac I am using is an Intel based MacBook so this should work. I
just need to have the instructions!
Hi, You might be able to boot using the boot helper CD.
http://people.sugarlabs.org/sdz/soas-boot.iso
Hold down 'c' when booting to boot off the CD and it should
recognize the USB stick and continue booting from there.
If that doesn't work you can try the VirtualBox instructions here:

Good Luck.

Thanks!
