What happens when you hold the 'c' key during reboot?

I get gray screen with folder and flashing "?".

I have had that when I messed up an install (I dual boot my iBook) and
ended up to use my Mac OS X disks to reformat the drive - with a bigger
OpenBSD partition.

Not quite the situation with my macppc, as it is not
dual booting and it is dealing with CD media not HDD.

I believe the issue has to do with the newly burned CD
or the source install56.iso image.

As I pointed out the official 5.6 CD boots just fine. Later

I also don't think it is the CD-R media, as I verified I can
burn an amd64 image (install56.iso file) and it boots
fine (on an amd64 hw of course).

Best,
