Actually I'm talking about the boot CD disk image that you can download 
from Apple:

   http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/

I burned the image to CD and tried to boot from it. What happens is 
that you get the Apple logo and then the logo shifts right and down and 
gets slightly garbled and that's as far as you get. As it happens I see 
the same problem trying to boot from my DiskWarrior CD 3.0.2 CD on this 
AiBook (which works fine in my other computers). Note that in the case 
of DiskWarrior I was able to use the program BootCD to create a 
bootable 10.3.7 CD. That worked great, but obviously does no good for 
Darwin. So there isn't a general problem with booting from CD on this 
AiBook.
