I have a 333 iMac which I think is physically identical, and I'm also
having trouble with the CD-ROM (well, it's basically dead). I had the
same problems as you describe. I was unable to boot from an external
USB CD-ROM or anything else (the hard drive also crapped out as well!)
The 233 Bondi had a slightly different design than the 300-450 iMacs and
iMac DV's which are all the same basic design. However, removing the
hard drive should be virtually the same process for all of them and it
is fairly easy to do.
